Summary[edit]

Description
English: Station House, Keyingham, East Riding of Yorkshire, England.
Converted railway station on the dismantled Hull to Withernsea railway line at the northern end of Keyingham village.

In July 1853 an Act was obtained for the building of the Hull & Withernsea Railway and prominent Hull businessman Anthony Bannister cut the first sod at nearby Kelsey Hill https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/216050 to open a gravel pit which would supply ballast for the line. The new rails were laid from a starting point near here and provided a means of transport to the sites where work was proceeding westward towards Victoria Dock, Hull and eastward towards Withernsea. The railway line was closed to passengers in October 1964 and closed down altogether in May 1965.

The "South Holderness Rail Trail" footpath and permissive bridleway follows much of the course of the railway but is diverted north along a short section of East Carr Road at this point and a short stretch of the trackbed has been turned into a garden surrounding the former station, now a house. This diversion is not currently shown on Ordnance Survey maps.
