Wykeham Street Bridge

Some 20metres ahead (easterly) of the viewpoint Wykeham Street has a junction with Image (right, southerly) and Image (left, northerly). Beyond these junctions is Wykeham Street Bridge, which once crossed a goods yard and the Scarborough to Whitby railway. The railway was closed by government as a result of the report, “The Reshaping of British Railways” issued on 27th March 1963 by Dr Richard Beeching, Chairman of the British Railways Board. On the old track bed to the left (north side) of the bridge is a Image and to the right is a superstore. On the other side of the bridge are Image and then Wykeham Street’s junctions with Gladstone Road and Roscoe Street. The building with the large, glass roof is the junior school hall. After being derelict for decades, the windmill in the distance was visually restored and the building was turned into a restaurant as part of the Old Mill Hotel on Mill Street.
