English: Skirlaugh railway station, Ellerby, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. End of the platform on the site of Skirlaugh Station, where the dismantled Hull & Hornsea Railway crosses the A165 Oubrough Lane, west of Ellerby. The railway opened in 1864 and lasted until 1965. Skirlaugh Station was closed to passengers in 1957 and entirely in 1963 and the path of the railway now forms the Hornsea Rail Trail and the eastern stretch of the Trans Pennine Trail. The Trans Pennine Trail runs for 215 miles from Hornsea to Southport and was officially opened in September 2001. There's a small building on the Ordnance Survey 1:25000 scale map just north of the former level crossing here at Oubrough, but this building no longer exists.
