About

Whitby South & East sits on the east bank of the River Esk where the harbour opens to the North Sea. The ward covers the harbourside streets, the East Cliff and the river mouth, with the town centre steps and lanes running down to the quays. Boats berth along the harbour and a working fish trade continues alongside shops and cafes. A metal swing bridge crosses the Esk at the harbour mouth, linking the east and west sides and opening for vessels. St Mary’s Church perches above the East Cliff, reached by the long stone flight known locally as the 199 Steps.

Local life mixes maritime work and town services: boat maintenance sheds, auction activity, independent retailers and residential streets behind the seafront. Public transport and road links connect the ward to the wider North Yorkshire coast and inland routes. Civic facilities, primary schools and small parks sit within walking distance of the harbour, and housing ranges from terraces close to the quays to later suburban streets inland, reflecting the area’s long connection to fishing and coastal trade.
