More about this scene
Old documents relating to Whitby refer to the western part of the town as Ruswarp, though the village itself lies about a mile from the town. This picture shows the old road bridge, which was washed away in disastrous floods in the 1920s; the railway bridge is to its left. Ruswarp station is the first stop on the Whitby to Middlesbrough railway line – mercifully ignored by Beeching, much to the benefit of the many isolated villages lying in the Esk valley.
