COUNTRYSIDE wardens are appealing for information about a former train line.

The Visitor Centre, at the Guisborough Forest and Walkway, in Pinchinthorpe, near Guisborough, is on the site of one of the former stations along the Middlesbrough to Whitby line.

The wardens want to create interpretation and information panels about the branch line and its stations at the centre and by the bridge at Belmangate, in Guisborough.

But finding archive material has been difficult and wardens Deborah Jefferson and Ann Marie Edwards are appealing for the public's help in providing photographs, timetables, luggage labels or old tickets.

Ms Edwards said: "Here at the walkway we have information panels telling people about the animals, but nothing about the history."

Pinchinthorpe station was the first to close, in 1951.

The wardens look after the two-and-a-half mile stretch of former track, from Nunthorpe to Pinchinthorpe, which shut in the 1960s.

Anyone able to help with the research is asked to contact the walkway on (01287) 631132.
