Did you know?

Leeming Bar station was opened in 1848 by the Newcastle and Berwick Railway Company. For a number of years it was the terminus of the line from
Northallerton.

Take a look at the unusual portico to the main entrance to the old ticket office.  It is thought that this was added to the building to impress company shareholders!

The road over the level crossing was formerly the Great North Road and the gabled building in the terrace across the road from the station was the toll house.

For many years the station was surrounded by farmland, a very different outlook to the busy working area of today.
