A171 turns the corner

This is coming out of Whitby (East side) onto the main road. To the left is, of course, going down to Scarborough. I will say, make sure your headlights are working before you do this at night as its 20 miles in pitch darkness. To the right is an amazing bridge that crosses the river and railway line. The views from it are amazing. The bridge was put in to releave Whitby Town Centre and the swinging bridge which is still congested - with people!!!

Toll house on the Sandsend to Whitby road - Geograph - 2771583.jpg
Toll house, on the Maharajah's Road. From 1858 to 1862 Maharajah Duleep Singh leased nearby Mulgrave Castle, Lythe. He constructed a new coast road from East Row, Sandsend to Upgang, Whitby. The first year of toll receipts was 1865/66. The toll house still stands and is today used as holiday accommodation. The extension looks to be of a later date.
