  1. Larpool Viaduct: The Brick Monument of the Esk

    Larpool Viaduct at Whitby stands today like a brick-red monument to an age when Victorian railway engineers thought artistically, even as they fought mud, tides, and buried forests. Completed in 1884 to carry the Scarborough and Whitby line across the deep valley of the River Esk, it was built entirely of brick, a de ...

  6. Whitby Abbey: Holy Vows, Pagan Wars, and the Problem of Easter

    I usually try to avoid posting touristy photographs, but in this case, my resolve faltered. This one was taken looking back as we wandered towards Ruswarp, along the River Esk, with the ruins of Whitby Abbey brooding in the distance. A cliché, admittedly, but quite picturesque in a ruin ...

  11. Ruswarp’s Chainbridge

    Ruswarp once had a suspension bridge. James Wilson built it in 1825, his money coming from slavery. Perhaps the river knew, it hated the bridge, and washed it away. Twice. ...

  16. An Echo of Grosmont Priory

    The Grandmontine Priory of Grosmont was established around 1200 at a site overlooking the River Esk. It was one Joan de Turnham who granted the site to the monks, and according to the deed of gift, a "mansion house" already existed there. Its surrounding fields, covering about 200 acres, were already in cultivation, evidenced by the use of the word "l ...

  21. Vandalised Legacy: The Tale of Beggar’s Bridge

    A stroll down to Beggar's Bridge to take a gander at the scene of recent vandalism that had struck the 17th-century packhorse bridge. News of the damage, likely inflicted by a sneaky hand wielding a Stihl saw, has cast doubt over the bridge's future. The old structure, standing for 400 years, now bears the scars of vandalism—letters deeply ...

  26. Hunter’s Sty Bridge

    The River Esk has a few single-arched bridges, but the best one is probably the Hunter's Sty Bridge. It's located at the bottom of Huntersty, the 'steep path of the hunters,' just past the northern end of Westerdale village.

    Hunter's Sty Bridge was most likely built in the late 13th century to provide access to the Royal Forest of Pickering, although some believe t ...
