The arched portico over the main entrance to Whitby station, seen looking west from the car park on 2 October 2008. Opened in June 1847 as Whitby, the name was changed to Whitby Town in 1883. It reverted to plain Whitby in 1938 but was then changed back once again to Whitby Town in 1951. Since then it has been changed yet again to Whitby, the name by which it is officially known at the present time (Monday, 2.30pm).
