Belmont Junction [Harrogate]
The little gate box at Belmont, just east of Starbeck station, is an elderly survivor that also has a claim to fame, in that it featured in Alan Plater's Beiderbecke Affair comedy drama series in the 1980s. Briefly, Big Al spoke to his 'brother', the signalman, who dropped the barriers to foil Sgt Hobbs' pursuit of Trevor Chaplin's little yellow van (which I hope is an encouragement to find the series on DVD or YouTube). The Beiderbecke trilogy programmes are a favourite of mine so this was something of a cultural pilgrimage on 2nd June 2022.
