Burdale Tunnel
Standing above the south portal of Burdale tunnel in May 1982 looking towards the quarry and former station. The tunnel is on the old NER Driffield - Malton route. The line closed in 1958 when alternative supplies of limestone were sourced and the tunnel became too expensive to repair. The quarry supplied the Teesside steelworks. See image 25979
