Withernsea railway station is a disused railway station that was the terminus of the North Eastern Railway's Hull and Holderness Railway in Withernsea, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It was opened by the York and North Midland Railway on 27 June 1854. The station was closed to passengers on 19 October 1964.
Fight against closure
The closure was announced on June 14 1962, by then Minister of Labour and National Service Sir Walter Turner Monckton, and caused significant protests by local inhabitants. Speeches were made at the local farming-association dinner, where a motion was carried to fight the closure with all means.
