Goathland Bank Top railway station

Goathland Bank Top was a short lived, early, railway station in Goathland, North Yorkshire, England. The station at the top of the Beckhole Incline was opened with the opening throughout of the Whitby and Pickering Railway on Thursday 26 May 1836. The station closed with the opening of the NER's Deviation line on 1 July 1865. Thus the station had a life of less than thirty years.
A new Goathland station was opened on the deviation line.
Little is known about what facilities the horse-worked W&P provided at Goathland, they did build an 'overseers cottage' at the head of the incline, that cottage survives, now known as 'Ash Tree Cottage', it is probably the only surviving inhabited W&P structure which is now a grade II listed building that passed into private ownership in 1913.
