The small town of Guisborough is the first stop today. Here's a view from the air, with Guisborough in the foreground, Redcar and the North Sea in the distance (Photo by Tristram Belstaff - Creative Commons License).
The railway station in Guisborough closed in 1964 (Creative Commons License).
Back in 1988, Cleveland Transit ran some of the buses.
However, the majority of bus routes were run by United.
Arriva took over from United.
Abbey Coaches once ran a local service in Guisborough.
According to Whatpub,com, the Anchor in Guisborough is long-term closed, waiting for Samuel Smiths to find a new landlord.
The Tap & Spile was once worth a visit. Now, it's called the Mermaid and has no cask beer.
It appears that the Globe has "bit the dust".
Finally...... some real ale! The Three Fiddles will supply it.
Moving on, we pass the NER station at Pinchinthorpe, long since closed.
The town of Great Ayton and its neighbour, Little Ayton, are served by a railway station just called Ayton, located some way from civilisation. Still open today, it's a bit different from this NER scene.

Dunning's Coaches were based in Great Ayton.
Arriva is the main bus operator around Great Ayton. Here, one of the company's buses passes the excellent Buck Hotel.
Onwards now to the town of Stokesley, where Arriva had a depot which served also as a bus station.
Stokesley was once seved by rail. This is all that remains of the station (Creative Commons License).
Here's the High Street (Creative Commons License).
Every year, Stokesley hosts a fair.
Stokesley has a couple of nice pubs. First up is the Spread Eagle.
I promised you a brewpub and here it is. The White Swan, home to Captain Cook Brewery.
