I last left you in Lealholm. Now we're heading across country to the coast and, looking across the valley above Staithes, we can see the remains of the viaduct that once carried the coastal railway and the potash mine at Boulby.
Here is Staithes station, in NER days, high above the village by the sea.
The Captain Cook Inn was built to serve the station.
Now we're descending into the village itself.
Staithes around 1900.
The Old Bridge in Staithes.
Staithes in July 2005.
More views of the harbour and landing area.
The Cod & Lobster serves the villagers and many tourists.
Back up to the railway and we soon reach Hinderwell station.
The Brown Cow in Hinderwell is worth a visit.
Onwards to Runswick Bay - the village seen from the beach.
It's 1952 and a very young John Law is seen on the beach at Runswick Bay.
Next stop, Sandsend station, NER.
Sandsend station and the railway dominated the village and the valley was crossed by a metal viaduct.
We terminate today's journey at Whitby West Cliff station, seen here in NER times.
LNER 693 is seen in West Cliff station in 1935 (Photo by HC Casserley).
Next time, we'll take a good look at the town of Whitby. Meanwhile, a reminder that you can follow the route here.
