I've long admired Filey station and it's almost untouched since it opened trainshed, designed by G.T. Andrews, it's got me thinking, how many more still exist and how many have been lost, the below are the trainsheds I'm aware of...

Still in use -
Filey
Beverley
Scarborough
Pickering
Hull
York

Still in existance -
Richmond
Pocklington

Lost -
Bridlington
Driffield
Market Weighton
Whitby

Any I've missed?

It is all rather unclear as the station has been knocked about so much! It is unlikely the shed there now is by Andrews

Never been there but looking at photos online it looks somewhat sorry for its self!

I had a look on Wiki but somehow missed that article, thanks!

Interesting to note Whitby on the list, are there any photos anywhere of it's overall roof, can't find any on Google.
According to "Railways around Whitby - Volume One" by Martin Bairstow (published 1998, ISBN 1-871944-17-1) Whitby lost its overall roof in 1953. He doesn't have a photo of it before roof removal either!
