The Derwent Valley Light Railway (DVLR) (also known as The Blackberry Line) was a privately owned standard-gauge railway in North Yorkshire, England, and was unusual in that it was never nationalised, remaining as a private operation all its life. It ran between Layerthorpe on the outskirts of York to Cliffe Common near Selby. It opened in two stages, in 1912 and 1913, and closed in sections between 1965 and 1981. Between 1977 and 1979, passenger steam trains operated between Layerthorpe and Dunnington — the entire length of track at that time. In 1993 a small section was re-opened as part of the Yorkshire Museum of Farming at Murton. The line gained its nickname of The Blackberry Line in the days when it used to transport blackberries to markets in Yorkshire and London.

St James' Church is the parish church of Murton, a village immediately east of the built-up area of the City of York, in England. The church was built in about 1200, as a simple rectangular structure of limestone. It served as a chapel-of-ease to St Thomas' Church, Osbaldwick. By the 19th century, it was unclear who was responsible for its upkeep. When the roof was badly damaged in a storm, in 1834, it was not repaired, and the chapel became a ruin. For a period, it served as a pig sty. By the early 20th century, the south and west walls remained at almost their full height, including the original south door, and two small windows which had been repaired in brick. In 1914, the chapel was restored, with the north and east walls rebuilt, with a new window each, a new tiled roof added, topped by a bellcote, and a lean-to hut added at the west end.In about 1950, a new font was installed. Believed to date from the 12th century, it was found in the churchyard of St Thomas in Osbaldwick. In 2016, a small brick-built extension was added, providing a welcome lobby, toilet and kitchen.The church was Grade II listed in 1953.
