2. Opened 2 January 1871. Building on up platform. Brown brick, with blue brick strings and chequered voussoirs: ashlar sills and some ashlar voussoirs. One storey. Nine segment-headed windows and twelve doors (each with six moulded panels) with segment-headed fanlights. Extension to south has two doors and one window. Building on down platform has been destroyed, but the canopy remains. Canopies on both platforms. Half-hipped roofs, glazed above, slate below. Down platform retains parts of its cast-iron moulded cornice with fluted consoles and simulated fretwork valance. Cast-iron trusses, moulded to simulate wood, taken on two cast-iron columns each, with stylised foliage capitals. Bridge. Single flat iron span. Sides enclosed with board and batten partitioning. Segmental boarded roof. Stair treads have contemporary wooden non-slip surfaces. Cast-iron balustrade with elaborate moulded newels: moulded wooden handrail. Cast-iron benches of rustic design. History: The first station on this site was built by the Hull and Selby Railway between 1836 and 1840. The present station was built when the North Eastern Railway built its cut-off from Chaloner Whin junction, York, to Shaftholme junction, Doncaster. The Act for this was obtained on 13 May 1864, and it was opened on 2 January 1871. Thus Selby became an important junction on through routes from London to Edinburgh, and from Liverpool to Hull.
