Kirby railway station was a railway station on the York and North Midland Railway's branch line to Pickering. Named after the village of Kirby Misperton, it opened in October 1845. It closed on 1 October 1858.[1]
Some authorities refer to this station as "Black Bull or Kirby"Black Bull being a reference to the (much nearer) public house, which also gave its name to the nearby level crossing on the Pickering–Malton road.[2] [3]
The station house, which still stands, was built in stoneunusual for minor stations which were more commonly built in brick (as was nearby Marishes Road). Indeed, the Y&NM crossing keeper's house at the adjacent crossing was in brick.
The NER built a short terrace of four houses between the station building and Black Bull level crossing for platelayers and labourers.
