This train shed was designed by James Walker and George Smith and built by Atack and Boothman in 1834 as the terminus of the Leeds and Selby Railway. It was replaced in 1840 by one on the site of the current station when the Hull and Selby Railway opened. This station was then relegated to goods use only with the lines extending to the River Ouse just over the road to the left. This is an important early survivor.
