Battersby
Battersby, where Middlesbrough to Whitby Esk Valley Line trains have to reverse, in the pre-digital age of June 1982. This view looks towards the abandoned section via Stokesley to Picton where it met the Northallerton to Eaglescliffe line. This closed to passengers on 14th June 1954 and completely on 2nd August 1965. The Eaglescliffe line is still open, of course, but Picton closed to passengers on 4th January 1960 and completely on 7th July 1964. Discernible on the platform at Battersby in the background are my late father John and our beloved Labrador Lucky.
