Scenes of Whitby and surrounding area

4. A few historic buildings in Whitby Town

The Tudor 'Manor House' of Bagdale Hall, now a hotel and restaurant. Apart from the Abbey ruins, its one of the oldest buildings to be seen in Whitby town. On the side-street side of Bagdale Hall are some stone carved heads (below), presumably preserved from part of the original building?

The small, but splendid, front entrance of the original LNER (NER) Whitby railway station. It isn't quite as grand as York station or Kings Cross station in London Shown below!, but it is of similar age and stone, with architectural similarities, originating from the North Easter Railway Company. More importantly, it is the terminous of the wonderful scenic train journey from Middlesbrough on Teesside, through the Esk Valley of the North Yorkshire Moors and the line follows the River Esk for nearly 20 miles on its approach to Whitby.

York station and Kings Cross, London.
