 It was on the last section of the Hull to Scarborough line to be opened; Hull to Bridlington had been achieved in October 1846, and southwards from to was in use by the same month.The station was located immediately north of the gated level crossing that spanned the road from Marton, and had a G T Andrews designed building.The extra effort put into Flamborough station was due to the influence of the Yarburgh family of nearby Sewerby Hall, who used the station.
