History

Cliff railway station was opened 2 July 1840 in the village of Cliffe, Selby as an original station of the Hull and Selby Railway.[1] The station was renamed to Hemingbrough on 1 September 1874.[2]

The station had a small set of sidings north of the line, with an eastern line of track serving a malthouse.[3]

Hemingbrough was the only station on the Hull and Selby line to close as a result of the Beeching report. The station closed to goods on 4 May 1964, and to passengers on 6 November 1967.[2]
