About

Whitby Streonshalh ward encompasses the western bank of the River Esk, directly opposite the historic Abbey headland. The area is primarily residential, with housing climbing the steep valley slopes away from the riverfront. It includes the modern industrial estate on the outskirts, which provides local employment, and the main railway station connecting the town to the wider region.

A defining characteristic is the presence of the operational swing bridge, a central thoroughfare linking the two sides of Whitby. The ward contains the lifeboat station and the fish market, integral to the town's maritime identity. St. Mary's Church and its expansive graveyard, accessible by the famous 199 Steps from the east bank, are situated within this ward's boundaries on the west cliff top.
