After descending a steep bank and clawing my way through

some dense vegetation, I finally came across the remains of Filey Holiday Camp station. The platforms are very much still in-place that used to accommodate the trains bringing hundreds of holiday makers for their annual week away. The station had a remarkably short life span, reflecting the changing holiday habits of the masses. It was opened in 1947 just after the war during the austerity years when Britains largely stayed in the UK for their holidays. However, with increased affluence and the relative cheapness of the foreign package holiday, it closed in 1977 with the holiday camp eventually succumbing in 1983.
