Whitby Swing Bridge . The River Esk at Whitby has been crossed at this point for centuries. In 1351, Edward III granted his bailiffs authority to collect tolls to maintain a bridge.The present steel swing bridge, commissioned by Whitby Urban District Council in 1906 to carry the 'A' class road across the Esk, provided the maximum width possible to river traffic. This vital dimension was 100 feet (30.48 metres) between the centres of the two piers. The structure was designed by Mr J Mitchell Moncrieff, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and constructed by engineers Heenan and Froude of Manchester (whose most iconic structure is Blackpool Tower).

Whitby Pier and Beach . The harbour dates back a long time, with fishing from the 12th century onwards. By 1541, the two oak piers (east and west) protecting the harbour were already in ruins and their timber framing filled only with loose stones. The piers were replaced in masonry during the reign of Charles I, with further work circa 1640.From 1702, duties were levied on the Newcastle coal that was shipped through the harbour, and the money raised was used to pay for both piers to be extended to 183m in length. Both piers were rebuilt in 1735. The west pier was extended to 309m by 1814 .Two new piers were built from the ends of the existing piers in 1905, each was 152m long.
