 Postmarked 1906, this postcard view of the railway station shows the roads with horse-drawn hackney cabs and pedestrians. How much quieter than the present junction.

The corner of the lower floor area of the building; 8 Exchange Place was formerly Winterschladen’s Wine & Spirits shop.

Believed to be Staithes Station, although Kettleness station was built to an identical design, Can anyone verify this information. Image courtesy of George Pearson.  More colloquially known as Paddy Waddell, John Waddell undertook other projects than the ‘renowned’ Paddy Waddells Railway; this intended to link up from Lingdale to the ironworks at Grosmont. This image shows his ‘navies’ working on the Loftus, Whitby and Scarborough line in 1883; making particular reference to the construction at all different levels. Hard labour indeed!
