Dunnington,
a
village
about
4
miles
east
from
York
city
centre,
was
an
Anglo-Saxon
settlement,
and
listed
in
the
1086
Domesday
Book
as
"Donniton",
which,
according
to
Mills,
translates
as
an
"estate
associated
with
a
man
called Dun(n)a". The fields around the village became the country's major area for growing chicory.
Between
1913
and
1926
Dunnington
was
served
by
passenger
trains
on
the
Derwent
Valley
Light
Railway,
and
the
remaining
goods-only
railway
was
withdrawn
in
stages
following
the
Beeching
Act.
Steam
trains
ran
to
Dunnington
on
this
line
between
1977
and
1979,
but
following
the
closure
of
a
crop
drying
facility
the
last
tracks
covering the route to York via Murton and Osbaldwick were lifted.
