The Whitby Weighing Machine House is a grade II listed structure that is south of Whitby between the Esk Valley Railway Line and the River Esk.
History[edit]
The building was grade II listed in 1990, though the citation clearly states that the building is in a "ruinous state".[1][note 1]
Notes[edit]
- ^ The Historic England citation also states that the building was built for the Scarborough and Whitby Railway Company in 1835. The Scarborough and Whitby Railway did not pass the site, leaving Whitby Town railway station at Bog Hall Junction (further north) and the company was not incorporated until 1871.[2]
