DMU, unidentified up working, Larpool viaduct
DMU, unidentified up working, Larpool viaduct With the shadow of the impressive Larpool viaduct below the River Esk is seen not far from where it enters the sea through Whitby Harbour. A pair of first-generation DMUs get underway heading towards Grosmont, Battersby and then Middlesborough. The leading DMU is a three-car Class 101 but I am not sure what class the trailing set is. The former rail-connected derelict industrial site to the right is Whitby's former gasworks. Interestingly, from 1960 it was converted to use natural gas that was piped in from an extremely small offshore site. It provided Whitby's gas for some years before closure came in the early 1970s. With no road access, the site remains derelict and very overgrown after becoming the home to the excentric environmentalist campaigner Fif Robinson who died in 2006.
