History
The first stage of the North Yorkshire and Cleveland Railway was opened between Picton and Stokesley in March 1857. The line eastwards from Stokesley to Ingleby was opened in February 1858, though the station at Ingleby wasn't opened until 1861. From Ingleby, the extension of the line to Kildale, was opened in April 1858. The station was located 300 yards (270 m) north of Ingleby Greenhow and was furnished with three sidings in a goods yard on the eastbound platform. In 1859, two years before the station at Ingleby was opened, the North Eastern railway bought out the North Yorkshire and Cleveland Railway.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as railway station in North Yorkshire, England, UK, now closed. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q96382148. Authority coordinates are 54.455, -1.108. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1857, 1954, 1858 and 1861.
Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
