1967/08/23, 7. In the yard at Grassington station was this former Midland Railway signalbox, presumably brought in from elsewhere, standing on a temporary base. It was in use as the HQ of the local Craven Cave Rescue organisation, complete with what looks like a flashing blue light in place of one of the finials on the roof! Painted green, the 'box matches the lovely old station lamp alongside. Wednesday 23rd August 1967.

1967/08/23, 6. 75015 has now run-round its brakevan in the platform at Grassington & Threshfield station and can now return to Skipton via Rylstone and Embsay Junction. It had left some wagons in the goods yard which is hidden behind the engine beyond the platform. The line had closed to passengers in 1930 but goods traffic lasted until 11th August 1969. After closure, the station was demolished and the site is now occupied by houses. Friday 23rd August 1967.Previous | Next1967/12/27.
