The view west is a bit sadder as it seems to be used as a tip.

View east from road bridge at Riseborough Hagg
Road bridge over old railway at Riseborough Hagg
It's here.
Arch in embankment between Pickering and Riseborough Hagg
This is taken looking south from Marton lane. It shows the embankment
with a small arch part of the way along.
The location of the arch here where you can see the shadow in the embankment.
Why?
Why have I set this site up?
I have always been fascinated by abandoned structures and things like dis-used railway stations.
I am lucky enough to live in Ryedale in North Yorkshire which is a very beautiful place indeed.
Years ago there were many railways that criss-crossed the region - the railway came up from the south through Malton and Pickering to Whitby. It also went east to Scarborough from Pickering and west to Thirsk. There was also a line from Thirsk to Driffield via Malton.
There are only two railways running through Ryedale now - the line from York to Scarborough which stops at Malton and the preserved NYMR which runs from Pickering to Whitby.
Over the years I have spotted various traces of old railway lines around the area and I hope to document some of them.
Google map is a very good resource, with the aerial photographs you can easily spot the route of old lines.
Another good resource is http://www.npemap.org.uk/ which lets you look at maps from 1947 (a time when most if not all the lines I am interested in are still in existance).
I am very interested to hear from people who remember using any of the Ryedale lines, I would also like to hear from anyone who owns any land on the old railways lines as I would love to visit.
