Description

Castle Howard Station is more than a building – it’s the connection with people that really brings the history to life. The following articles and personal accounts have been gathered and recorded here to paint a fascinating picture of yesteryear.

 

We are keen to uncover and publish more stories associated with the station and the immediate area. From the perspective of a passenger simply passing through to a long-time local resident, if you or a ancestor have a connection with this topic please write or e-mail and tell us more.

 

We are very grateful to everyone who has contributed to this page.
