Hinderwell railway station was a railway station on the Whitby Redcar and Middlesbrough Union Railway. It was opened on 3 December 1883, and served the villages of Hinderwell and Runswick Bay.[1] Like most stations on the line between Loftus and Whitby West Cliff, it was built with a passing loop. However, the northbound side was not furnished with a platform until 1908.[2] The station closed to all traffic on 5 May 1958.[3]
The station buildings have all been demolished, and small industrial units occupy the site. However, the former railway cottages are still (February 2008) extant, albeit modernised and extended.
