Valley in Yorkshire

Garsome Dale

View towards Enthorpe Station Enthorpe station was on the former Market Weighton to Driffield line which opened in 1890 as the Scarborough, Bridlington and West Riding Junction Railway and which was finally closed by British Railways in 1965. Enthorpe station along with the other intermediate stations had already closed in 1954. I doubt if it was ever very busy except perhaps on Kiplingcotes Race Days.
