Burdale Images

Please take time to post a message about your memories of the Malton to Driffield railway. No matter how small they are, it is always great to hear stories from the past.

Burdale Images

Post by AndyB »

This photo was taken 1930 I think, with one of my family members in the "heritage" pushchair in front of the Burdale "Tin Tabernacle" or "The Bungalow" as it was also known as. Up on the embankment is the quarry engine shed which housed the Andrew Barclay tank engine, visible are the smoke vents in the roof which are not present in later photos due to re-roofing at some point?

Hi Andy- just,by chance, seen your item from 2017 re the Burdale Tabernacle- I have just made an attempt at modelling this and my search through photos showed,as you say, how the roofline changed at some point.I was rather relieved as trying to model a clerestory roof would have tested both my patience and modelling skills.I think the end (facing Burdale tunnel direction ) had two windows originally but the photo in Warwick Burton's book appears to show them taken out by the time that photo was taken which is the period I am modelling. Without any plans i have had to guesstimate the dimensions unless you or anyone else can help with that-Terryt

There are two photos of the hut in Warwicke's book, one with the clerestory roof and north facing windows in around 1925 and the second one at a distance in 1957 with smooth roof.

Thanks for those responses.Is the one at Wetwang of similar dimensions and is it still there? I have more or less finished my attempt at replicating a semblance of what it would have looked like.Just waiting for some proper scale corrugated sheeting to arrive. Of interest in the photos is the multi angled smoke stack in Andy's fabulous pic compared to the more traditional straight up one in the book.Surely there would have been more than one stove for such a large building but I can't seem to spot any other chimneys.

The one at wetwang is still there at top of Beverley road junction for york road dimensions i guess these buildings were mass produced for ease of construction.

This was my first view of Burdale station in October 1976. My dad drove me there and I walked up the ramp from the road to find this shattered ruin just 18 years after the last train left.
