Pickering is the southern terminus of the NORTH YORKSHIRE MOORS RAILWAY.
The original Pickering station was opened on 26 May 1836 forming the southern terminus of the horse drawn Whitby & Pickering Railway. The site of the station was just north of the present building.
When the York & North Midland Railway took over the Whitby & Pickering Line and built a branch from Malton to meet at Pickering, a new station was built to accommodate steam locomotives.
The present station was opened on 7 July 1845.
Antique Archaelogy. American Pickers.
Located just up the road from me in LeClaire,Iowa, this is but a small sampling of items that Mike Wolfe, Frank Fritz, and Danielle Colby-Cushman have collected from their travels across American on the highly successful History Channel show, "American Pickers."
The place was packed today with tourists and although some of the items seemed a bit pricey, you gotta factor in all the legwork they've already done and everything is tagged where it came from.

We had two evening meals in this Chippy. It was delicious. The fish were perfectly filleted and battered - no waste.
Their fish is fresh. They have a daily delivery from Scarborough. Typically British, they serve bread and butter and a cup of tea with your fish and chips.
I liked the fact that there were no commercial fast food chains in most of Yorkshire.
Pickering is an old market town in the county of North Yorkshire in England. It is situated on the edge of the North York Moors National Park to the north and it overlooks the Vale of Pickering to the south. In 2011 it was estimated to have a population of 6,830.
The building on the left stands in Hallgarth and was formerly a National School for boys and girls which was set up in 1857. It later became the Church School and is now used as the Parish Hall. It was registered as a Grade II Listed Building in 1975. At the right-hand end of the building is the privately-owned Old School House, which today provides accommodation for visitors to the town.

The interior of St Peter and St Paul, the parish church of Pickering in North Yorkshire. The church has one of the most extensive and best preserved sets of early medieval wall paintings, which were whitewashed over during the English Reformation then rediscovered and restored much later.

Locomotief 76079 is privé eigendom en wordt regelmatig door de North Yorkshire Moors Railway gebruikt voor diensten op de eigen museumlijn tussen Grosmont en Pickering. Vanwege de mogelijkheid om ook met de stoomlocomotief op de hoofdlijn te rijden is de loc in gebruik voor de diensten naar Whitby. Inmiddels heeft de machine al vele jaren museumdienst achter de rug. Vele jaren meer dan de tien jaar in dienst bij de Britse Spoorwegen. Pickering, mei 2004.

Had the pleasure of travelling from Grosmont to Pickering in the nearest coach.
Built in 1938 by Metropolitan Cammell in Birmingham for the London & North Eastern Railway, this Tourist Third Open coach No.56856 was finished with 'bucket' seats and chrome hooks for hats and coats.
The coach was withdrawn from passenger service in 1964 and converted at York for Departmental use by the Eastern Region's Medical Office. The vehicle was used for this purpose for 13 years from 1966 when it was finally withdrawn from service.
It was subsequently purchased by the LNER Coach Association and after a fabulous piece of restoration it entered service on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway in 2002, complete with bucket seats.
The church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul is a stunning little Norman church located on a hill behind the shops and houses in Pickering in Yorkshire. It is not just a Norman church but it also features unique 15th century frescos along the aisles, under the windows of the clerestory level.
The early Norman church was rebuilt around 1140 in a simple cruciform plan with a central tower and two transepts. The north aisle was added soon after and, by the end of the century, a south aisle and arcade were added. Soon after the central tower collapsed and took out the south-east transept wall. This was replaced by a new tower at the west end which went up in stages over 300 years. This also suffered a later collapse. The south porch was added in the 14th century.
The reason most people visit the church is to see the frescos which the guide book describes as 'one of the most complete sets of medieval wall paintings in Britain' and something which I will not argue. Stylistically they appear to have been painted around 1460, a date which can be safely ascribed to them due to the style of armour worn by the knights in the scene showing the murder of Thomas Becket. Despite his death being in the 12th century the artist showed contemporary 15th century armour of the reign of Edward IV - Gothic full or 'white' plate with sallet helmets.
The frescos survived for about 100/120 years but were probably painted over during the Reformation. They were first accidentally rediscovered in 1852, viewed for a time and the painted over AGAIN as the current vicar thought them 'Popish' and distracting from his services. Clearly his sermons were not riveting. In 1876 they were uncovered again and have been conserved since.
The images are typical Christian themes and would have been familiar to the illiterate common folk: St George and the dragon, St Christopher with the Christ child, the beheading of John the Baptist and a typical Judgement Day or 'Doom' complete with the sinners being herded into the jaws of hell. This was their television and a way to visualise the Bible which they could not read.
Of particular interest to a 'Wars of the Roses' historian - like myself - were the martyrdom of English King St Edmund - shot to death by Danish archers in the 9th century - and the martyrdom of St Thomas. These two give good contemporary images of what armoured men and longbowmen wore in the 15th century. The figures were a pig to photograph as the lighting was poor due to the weather outside. I even broke my own 'no flash in church' rule and resorted to the flash gun. I was desperate.
Elsewhere in the church there is an effigy of Sir William Bruce circa 1340/50 but I was so taken with the frescos that I missed it.
Sorry about the lack of outside photographs but it was the wettest of wet days and I was hiding the camera under my waterproof. My camera has some water resistance but there are limits.
