PASSING SOUTH OF SELBY

The West Yorkshire village of Micklefield comes next, as an 8-wheel Foden passes by en route to or from a rally.

Micklefield has a station on the Selby to Leeds line. It's still open, but here it is in NER days.

The "New" houses in Micklefield, built for colliery workers.

LNER 696 seen at Micklefield Junction in 1945.

Peckfield was one of the last bastions of NCB steam. Hudswell Clarke 0-6-0T no. S102 shunts here in 1970.

A year or so later and a Hudswell diesel operates beside the main line.

We now re-enter North Yorkshire and find ourselves at Sherburn in Elmet station, NER.

There's another church dedicated to All Saints in Sherburn in Elmet.

Sherburn in Elmet was well known amongst bus enthusiasts for being the home of North's, dealers to the industry. Various vehicles have been found there over the years.

The next station south was called South Mildford, seen in NER times.

Monk Fryston is our next stop - another NER station.

St Wilfred's church can be found in Monk Fryston.

A bit further south, this fairground traction engine was photographed by the late Les Flint near Burton Salmon in 1966.

A variety of traffic could be found passing through in 2011.

There's time for an evening in the Plough at Burton Salmon.

Next, we visit the lock at Beal, on the River Aire.

As we pass south of Selby, we find another St Wilfred's church, at the village of Brayton.

Just to the south is Burn, where we can call in at the Wheatsheaf, a great place to conclude this post.

We should end up in Goole in the next post. Lost? - follow the map here.
