Lealholm Railway Station

Lealholm railway station, opened in 1865, is situated on the Esk Valley Line, connecting Middlesbrough with Whitby. Originally built by the North Eastern Railway Company, the station is now managed by Northern Trains.

The station's facilities are currently limited. The former station master's house, which once served as the booking hall, is now a private residence. Passengers now find shelter from the elements in a small waiting area. The second platform, constructed for infrequent use, has become largely overgrown. The passing loop line, primarily used for freight trains in the past, remains a feature of the station.

Lealholm station is served by approximately five trains per day heading towards Whitby and six trains per day towards Middlesbrough. Please note that service frequency may vary on Sundays.

I took the pictures below on the 22nd August 2022 with a Nikon d3300, the ones displayed below are in a reduced resolution of 900 x 600 x 150. Some can be seen in higher resolution on Clickasnap. Clicking any image should open a link in another window to my Colin Green Photography Zazzle Store where the image will be available to buy on a number of different Products.

Our Lady of the Sacred Heart, Lealholm.

 Our Lady of the Sacred Heart is a Catholic church serving the rural community of Lealholm, North Yorkshire. The foundation stone was laid by Bishop Shine in September 1931 after the local Catholic community raised sufficient funding to build a modest church for worship. The Church opened in 1932.

These 3 pictures were taken on the 27th August 2022 using a Nikon d3300 SLR camera. They can be seen below or on Clickasnap where they are full size, resolution and un-watermarked.

Lealholm Post Office and Service Station

Taken whilst exploring a section of the Esk Valley Railway, I'd just been to look at Lealholm Railway Station and walking back to the village centre I passed the post office and service station which to serve the village of Lealholm (Population approx. 380) and nearby rural villages and communities. I liked how what looked like a house had become probably a central part of the community.

The picture was taken using a Nikon d3300 SLR camera on the 27 August 2022, the artwork was completed on the 29 August 2022. Both can be seen and purchased on Clickasnap. I am currently working on a 2nd artwork to be completed shortly.
