Moulton End

Moulton railway station was a railway station in what is now the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire, England. It was situated near the village of North Cowton. Moulton was the Eryholme-Richmond branch line which was opened in 1846 by the York and Newcastle Railway Company. The line was closed for passengers in 1969 and completely a year later. Despite being only about a quarter of a mile from North Cowton the station was named after the village of Moulton some 3 miles (4.8 km) away. This was to avoid confusion with a now disused station on the East Coast Main Line named Cowton serving the nearby village of East Cowton. Moulton station house still survives, it is now used as a residential property, but the platform clock can still be seen on the wall. The Richmond bound platform now forms part of the boundary wall to station house. The Darlington-bound platform still stands intact, though it is heavily overgrown with trees, bushes and bramble thickets. The track bed is now used as an access road for a nearby smallholding, it is not officially recognised as a public right-of-way, though it has been used as a scenic footpath by local people for over 20 years.

Dalton Gates is a hamlet in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire, England. The hamlet was built up around the now disused railway station that formed part of the disbanded Richmond Line.
