That is what the caption on this image says; I don’t think it looks much like this today. Russell Pigott tells us: ”I would say about the turn of the 20th century,there is fresh ballast on a siding which looks like it went into the ironworks that seem to be demolished and also the style of railway wagons in the picture.” Richard Coates comments: “I’m sure that I know the place the picture was taken. The rail lines that pass the chimney run to Whitby, if you look through the gap between the second and third bush you can just make out the line that runs to Pickering now owned by the NYMR. The view has changed slightly but not much.”
