History

edit

The station was opened in November 1867 by the North Eastern Railway. It was situated south of the Crimple Viaduct. It was also known as Crimple Junction in the Knaresborough Post May timetable. It also had a locomotive shed. It was a very short-lived station, only being open for one year and a half before closing in May 1869.[1] The locomotive shed closed shortly after.[2]
