Kirby railway station

Kirby railway station

Kirby was a railway station on the York and North Midland Railway's branch line to Pickering. It opened in October 1845, and was named after the village of Kirby Misperton. It closed on 1 October 1858.

Some authorities refer to this station as 'Black Bull or Kirby'; Black Bull being a reference to the (much nearer) public house, which also gave its name to the nearby level crossing on the Pickering - Malton road.

The station house, which still stands, was built in stone which was unusual for minor stations which were more commonly built in brick (as was nearby Marishes Road). Indeed the Y&NM crossing keepers house at the adjacent crossing was in brick.

The NER built a short terrace of four houses between the station building and Black Bull level crossing for platelayers and labourers.
