The Malton and Driffield Junction Railway

A slice of Yorkshire railway history from Hull History Nerd, who has a Patreon page to help finance his videos.

This 20-mile line opened in 1853 and closed to passengers in 1950 and to freight in 1958. The video explores its remains in the Wolds.

You can read about Alfred Dickens, the brother of the novelist, on Wikipedia. And there's more about the Yorkshire Wolds Railway and its designs on Wetwang on its website.
