Selby to Driffield Line

Selby to Driffield Line

The Selby to Driffield Line formed part of a railway which connected the East Coast Main Line and the Yorkshire Coast Line. It crossed the largely flat terrain of the Yorkshire Wolds and serviced the towns of Selby, Market Weighton, and Driffield. Interestingly, the 1881 census shows that Frances Calvert, a widow aged 69, was the "Station Mistress Railway" at Menthorpe Gate.
