Summary edit
| Description |
English: Londesborough Park, Londesborough, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. Footbridge across a disused ford between the top ponds and Londesborough Park Lake, on the public footpath between Londesborough and Goodmanham. The house on the Londesborough estate was demolished in 1819 by the 6th Duke of Devonshire, who under mounting financial strain sold the property in 1845 to George Hudson "The Railway King". Hudson intended to live here and build a railway from York to Market Weighton with his own private station at Shiptonthorpe. He had a two-mile avenue of trees planted between the railway and the park but then things started to go wrong. "The King" ran into financial difficulties with the collapse of the over-inflated railway share price and was accused of corruption, bribing MPs and selling land he did not own. He left Londesborough in disgrace and was imprisoned in York Castle for debt in 1865. |
