Cryptic clues = station name

[RobertsN]

You'd expect to see something like this station come sailing in to port in Massachusetts back in the late 17th century with revenge at heart.

Time for hints:
1: The station is obviously not in the eastern US -> What was significant at the tail end of the 17th century in a known town on the coast? and What kind of transportation devices could relate to those events?
2: Lightly served National Rail station in the north east

 

[RobertsN]

The location in Massachusetts is Salem.. What could these people use to move around on?

 

[RDP]

High Brooms?

I'll take a stab with this (hopefully) easy clue:

Randy, John and even Tom sang this one

 

[RobertsN]

Since there have been no takers, and to avoid prolonging the clue unnecessarily, the answer is Hatton.

Explanation:
Randy Newman wrote and performed: "You can leave your hat on".
Joe Cocker made it somewhat famous.
(Sir) Tom Jones performed it multiple times (I'd say very well and successfully).

I’ll give it a go:

A hesitation between two temporary accommodations at this settlement on a preserved railway.

This one seems to have died a death somewhat. Slightly too obscure? Here's a wee clue to help you on your way:

What does a brickie use to carry his bricks?

 

[John Griffiths]

Hoddesdon?

 

[D6130]

Hoddesdon?

Not that one....but I can see where you're coming from. Think of an anagram consisting of the initials of West Yorkshire and the man carrying the bricks....with a diminutive form of Maureen and an East Anglian connection.

 

[RDP]

Wymondham?

 

[D6130]

Wymondham?

That's the one:

WY - West Yorkshire
MO - diminutive of Maureen
crossing over with
HODMAN - brickie

Your turn on the building site.

 

[Loppylugs]

Seeing as RDP doesn't seem to want to play anymore, I'll set a quickie:

This station is filthy, always rubbish or dust swirling about.
