Larpool Railway Viaduct: An Engineering Marvel - Scarborough to Whitby Railway
Join me as I continue my journey along the Scarborough to Whitby Railway. This time I set off from Robin Hood's Bay and go through Hawsker onto Prospect Hill Junction at Whitby.
The highlight of this section is Larpool Viaduct.
Could this be the most stunning railway viaduct in all of Yorkshire?

John Boyes was a well known railway photographer but was an electrical engineer rather than a signalman although he had an extensive knowledge of railway signalling. He was the Signal Engineer of the North York Moors Railway until his death about 2007 and his memorial plaque is fixed to the outside of Grosmont Crossing Signal box. Several times I travelled between Loftus and Scarborough via the coast route as a child and each journey was so exciting. Thoroughly enjoyable video.

Back in the seventies when all the family was still at home we used to get fish and chips from Sleights then picnic at the Hawsker end of the Larpool viaduct before the road to the Cook Homes was created, but the viaduct was fenced unfortunately. Great to see it now via drone, thanks Ant.

I live on Larpool Lane and absolutely love walking my dog on the old railway line and in the woods at Stainsacre. Lots of old side tracks to explore too, which run parallel to the main line. One thing you did miss was as you approach the viaduct, on your right hand side is a big gate leading to the private walled garden of Larpool Hall. The lord of the manor contributed to the railway construction and in return had his own platform there.

@dang1086 11 ай бұрын

my mum and dad used to run outdoor pursuit courses from larpool hall. went back recently and it looks like the beautiful ornamental gardens have been cut in half for houses, which i think is a real shame. the walled vegetable gardens wll is still there though but i couldn’t see over it. the grounds used be stunning but now id say just pretty.

Not just an excellent video with your usual stunning visuals, but the music ? well it was good all through, but when the Viaduct appeared and the video went into what I call Ladybower music (the kind you played when exploring the Reservoir) I had to get my tissues out again. The British tourist board should have you on commisison, because you make people (well me anyway) want to visit these places.

Larpool viaduct was offered for sale some years ago for the princely sum of £1. Not bad for 5 million bricks! Only trouble was that the buyer would be responsible for the maintenance. The route is known as the Cinder Track because the surface was originally the cinder ballast from the old line. It is being gradually repaired with more suitable materials but I am sure that the name will stick. In 1972 a gang of us from the NYMR recovered the pointwork from Hawsker Station Yard for use at the North end of Goathland Station before the line opened in 1973. We had very few tools and used an artic lorry hired from Readmans in Whitby for the day plus Ron Cana's coal lorry to transport the materials to Grosmont. Happy memories of over 20 years ago! Some lovely aerial shots from the drone Ant. Makes you realise the scale of the viaduct which isn't so obvious on film without seeing it from the air. Thanks for another super video.

As an ex-resident of Saltburn, I’m going to declare some bias and add the Saltburn viaduct into the contenders. At one stage I lived in a house on Marske Mill Lane with the railway to Skinningrove and Boulby at the bottom of the garden. I could hear the trains at night. Unfortunately no parents were interested in the railway, so although I’m old enough that I could have travelled this line, it didn’t happen, though I did go along the Esk valley to Whitby a number of times back in the day when all the points were mechanical and there were manned signal boxes (and platforms where the Sainsbury’s is in Whitby). I would recommend Google Earth to all railway historians. Although tracks have been lifted, it’s almost always possible to see where they went. I’ve used this to look at all the defunct railways around Saltburn, Brotton, Guisborough, and Eston. Fascinating pieces of history.
