Stamford Bridge.


Classed as a "medium sized" station, the main buildings on this ex York  and North Midland Railway (which was amalgamated into the North Eastern  Railway in 1854 and was chaired by George Hudson, the "Railway King"),  is a classic "Thompson" design.


The old track bed as seen on arrival from the York direction after  crossing the previously posted iron viaduct. There was a siding on the  right serving the short loading platform and a further one to the left  behind the goods shed (the lean-to is a later addition):

The Main Station Building :















The porter's and signalman's cottages stood on the opposite side of the  tracks to the now demolished signalbox.  Again, the leanto is a later  addition:

And finally, just one single original gate remains as an entrance to the track-bed footpath :
