The uncomfortable sounding Wetwang, on the Malton & Driffield Junction Railway in East Yorkshire. The station lost its passenger service in 1950, since when it has seen various modifications and extensions undertaken by subsequent owners. Photographed on 21 April 2009 looking east towards Driffield.

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]
