Staithes railway station
Staithes railway station was a railway station on the Whitby Redcar and Middlesbrough Union Railway. It was opened on 3 December 1883, and served the villages of Staithes and Dalehouse in North Yorkshire, England.
The station was host to a LNER camping coach from 1935 to 1939 and may have had a coach visiting in 1934 and 1935. A coach was also positioned here by North Eastern Region of British Railways from 1954 to 1958.
The station closed on 5 May 1958.
The station building is now a private residence and is located next to the modern-day main car park for the village. It was here that the railway passed over the Staithes Viaduct, built in 1875 but not opened to railway traffic until 1883 along with the rest of the railway. The viaduct was built of iron and concrete and was high and in length. Due to the strong winds in the area, trains could only cross at in windy conditions, and the viaduct was closed completely in high winds. The viaduct was demolished in 1960 and a plaque near the site of the viaduct details the history of it and the railway.
