This one sent me looking for my pre-Beeching rail atlas Geoff – I’ve identified it from the internet as the NER station sign from the long closed Wharram station nearby – don’t think the buildings it is attached to now were anything to do with the railway.
That’s right – it was the old NER sign made by the “Patent Enamel Co Ltd B.ham”, undated. The cottages, which post-date the deserted village, are perhaps 200 yards from the north entrance of Burdale tunnel. Wharram station was about 3/4 mile north, serving Wharram-le-Street village. The railway (the Malton and Driffield) closed to passengers in 1950, freight in 1958, so survival of the sign is remarkable.
