Not to be confused with Howsham railway station, North Yorkshire.

a normal country road passes straight up the middle of the picture, and a two-track railway line crosses it in the foreground. Modern red-and-white barriers protect the track, and are currently up. On the left, just beyond the line, 19th century red brick buildings stand next to the track. This was once the railway station but is now a private house. The line and the road are fringed with hedgerows, those along the road on the left being particularly tall. A field of wheat can just be glimpsed on the right, behind the barriers, lights, and hedgerows.
