Here are some recollections about the Rowntree Halt - when workers turned up for a shift at Rowntree's by train!

Rowntree Halt was a minor unmanned railway stop on the Foss Islands branch line in York.

Rachel Bean, from York BID, described Joseph Rowntree as a "really significant figure" in York. He died in 1925. "He was so important for changing the social landscape for factory workers," she said.
