Whitby West Cliff
(1883 - 1961)
Trains from Whitby toTeeside started operation on December 3 1883 with a northern terminus at Saltburn
From Whitby Town a single track branched up a steep incline to Prospect Hill Junction from which trains could reach Whitby West Cliff Station and journey north along the coast to Saltburn and on to Middlesbrough
The station was built without goods facilities but these were developed later and included coal cells, goods warehouse and a one ton crane. The main station building, was a substantial brick-built structure incorporating the stationmaster's house and was located on the 'up' platform where there was also a signalbox. There was also a brick building on the 'down' platform that included a long covered waiting area
On July 16 1885, the line from Whitby to Scarborough was opened so allowing some trains to run through to Scarborough. These trains called at Whitby West Cliff which was connected to Whitby Town by a shuttle service
On May 3 1958 the line was closed completely between Whitby West Cliff and Loftus but Whitby West Cliff remained open for trains to Scarborough until June 10 1961
All the station buildings on both platforms have been converted to private residential units. The covered waiting area on the 'down' platform has been retained as a car port. The rest of the site has been developed as private housing
