A HERITAGE railway station is on the right track thanks to a North Yorkshire company.
The York Handmade Brick Company has supplied 18,000 high-quality bricks for the new visitor and learning centres at Pickering Station.
The contract with the North Yorkshire Moors Railway was worth £15,000 to the company, which is based at Alne, near Easingwold.
The work included specially manufactured segmental arches.
John Ives, of York-based architects Potts, Parry, Ives & Young, who selected York Handmade’s bricks, said: “The new visitor centre is housed within the old Grade II listed pump house and it was crucial that the bricks replicated the size, colour and texture of the old pump house bricks. York Handmade’s were the perfect, seamless match.”
