Pilmoor Junction station sat astride the original twin track, and later four track, East Coast Main Line and also had a platform on the branch line spurring off to run via Brafferton and Boroughbridge to Knaresborough. View is taken from the branch line trackbed showing a, recently part renovated, former branch side building. Old Maps identify the station as 'Pilmoor Station and Post Office'. Did this building act as the 'post office'? The station closed in 1958 and in recent years the station house became derelict, but it has recently been renovated by a young couple who are now providing kennel accommodation in a newly built suite of kennels seen to left of view.
