York Historic Environment Record

York Civic Trust
Due to Copmanthorpe’s convenient location between York and Leeds, it was a busy location in the 19th and 20th centuries. The railway station opened in the 1850s, although there were only three trains a day in each direction. The original station was possibly designed by G. T. Andrews and included a bay window that afforded the Station Master a good view of the platforms and the line. The Station House once housed the station booking office, waiting room, as well as living accommodation. The service gradually improved and in 1903 a new station and a goods shed were built. Sadly the station closed to passenger traffic in 1959 and altogether in 1964. The 1903 alterations and extensions were demolished and the original Station House was converted into a private dwelling. It still holds historic and evidential value as a remnant of railway history and the villages’ links with the railway network.
