SE9852 : Levelled Crossing

taken 13 years ago, near to Bainton, East Riding of Yorkshire, England

Levelled Crossing
Levelled Crossing
This is the former trackbed of the Driffield to Market Weighton railway. There's no sign of it now. I think the railway was closed in the very early 1960s (I have a very early recollection, as a three year old, of a steam train working hard up this inclined section).

Over the last fifty years, the farmer has ploughed more and more of the trackbed, so it's now totally unrecognisable as such.
