EAST YORKSHIRE'S BEST HERITAGE RAILWAY ATTRACTION!
https://www.yorkshirewoldsrailway.org.uk/
The Yorkshire Wolds Railway was inaugurated at a meeting held at the Old Lodge Hotel on Old Maltongate, Malton, North Yorkshire on Friday 10th October 2008 with the aim of restoring at least a part of the former Malton & Driffield Junction Railway as a heritage railway attraction.
Planning permission is already in place for the next phase of our journey towards Wetwang Green Lane, and we are now actively seeking donations to help make this extension a reality. Everything is possible, and if you would like to break it out to a cost per sleeper, it is around the £160 mark! Such is the cost of maintaining and running a railway.

Revisit To The Hell Hole Railway, The Barnsdale Tunnel.
Westbound traffic on the Hull & Barnsley emerged from the 1,226-yard Barnsdale Tunnel (HBR3/132) into a sheer-sided cutting before arriving at Wrangbrook Junction, diverging point for the Wath and Denaby branches. The tunnel was driven through magnesian limestone to reach the lower beds of sandstone and clay.
Its eastern portal is found at the end of a partly-infilled cutting adjacent to the northbound service area on the A1 at Barnsdale Bar. The brickwork design is characteristic of other H&B tunnels such as Brierley and Drewton.

The gothic style building is crumbling and listed as an "at risk" heritage site and Historic England has labelled its condition "poor" with slow decay and no solution yet agreed.
it is Located on an elevated site, this could be the reason why there has been some movement to both the western porch and the north eastern vestry.
The subsidence appears to be live, with some open masonry joints, probably due to inadequate foundations when the extensions were added shortly after the initial construction.
The church seated 630 people and replaced an earlier place of worship which dated back to 1726. It closed in 1966 and was converted into a Ukrainian Catholic church which then closed itself in 2021.

Abandoned Shore Baptist Chapel, Todmordon
Shore General Baptist Chapel was founded in 1777 by seven people inspired by the missionary teachings of Dan Taylor from Birchcliffe, Hebden Bridge. The original structure of the chapel was built on a plot of land 29 yards by 16. The historical context of the time was that King George III was on the throne and America had declared itself an independent nation the previous year. As the years passed and the membership grew, extensions were added to the building in 1833 and 1871. The growth in the congregation of the church reflected the growth in the cotton industry in Cornholme and the corresponding increase in population. When the centenary was celebrated in 1877 the church had 265 members with a large number of Sunday school scholars. The growth of Shore Chapel demonstrates the influence of the nonconformist churches in the district, and its decline and ultimate fate was typical of numerous chapels in the Calder Valley. By the time the Bi-Centennial celebrations took place in 1977 the chapel itself was considered unsafe and services were already taking place in the Sunday school building.

Abandoned Scaitcliffe Hall, Todmordon.
Scaitcliffe Hall was the home of the Crossley family since medieval times. The south part was re-built in 1666 and the north part in 1738, then it was completely pulled down and re-erected in 1833. It is an attractive Grade 2 listed building in picturesque surroundings.
Most recently it was a hotel, restaurant, and popular wedding venue. We think it closed around 2012. There was some fire damage in 2017 and the roof is leaky in parts but it’s not bad considering how long it’s been derelict. The stone shell is probably good for another couple of centuries.
