The giveaway is the LNER clock above the former station entrance that was working and reading the correct time. Whitby station was designed by George Townsend Andrews for the York and North Midland Railway (Y&NM) and was opened in 1845.

The entrance has reverted to the front again through the twin arches rather than the rather lowly entrance being used at this time. Three period cars are seen parked in the twenty minutes bays, a facelift Renault 12, a rather beaten up VW Polo that would only be up to four years old and a classic Morris Minor 'woody'. I visited the station in 2019 with no cars parked in front now and by way of comparison, I took a similar photograph, see..... https://www.ontheupfast.com/p/21936chg/26273779804/frontage-whitby-station Interestingly, during this visit the clock was not working!
