Looking more like an elegant hunting lodge than a station, the lovely frontage of Hebdon Bridge station is seen in this picture. The last picture I took of the station was in the dark one night in December 1985. Then, cars were parked directly in front of the building before it was pedestrianised. This building was opened in 1891 and has served the nearby town since. Andy and I were hoping to try the world-famous café (as sampled by Michael Portillo) but, unfortunately, it had closed at 14.00. Notice the 'Tour De Yorkshire' yellow bike above the door to the cafe!
