Staithes Viaduct

Staithes Viaduct was a railway bridge that straddled Staithes Beck at Staithes, Yorkshire, England. It was north of the closed Staithes railway station. It was known for an anemometer, a fitting to tell the signaller if winds across the viaduct were too strong for crossing trains. Major crossing structures, including the viaduct, on the Whitby to Loftus line were made out of iron, with the piers additionally filled with concrete. The viaduct started to be built in 1875 and opened in 1883 – due to financial, build and ownership problems. The line closed in 1958 and the viaduct demolished in 1960.

Bethel Chapel, Staithes

The Bethel Chapel is a former Congregational church in Staithes, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. A congregational chapel in Staithes opened in 1823, the first place of worship in the village. It was able to seat 400 worshippers. The building was altered in 1835. In 1965, the church withdrew from the Congregational Union of England and Wales, and thereafter lacked a resident minister. It closed in the 1980s, and was converted into holiday accommodation. The building has been grade II listed since 1973. The church is built of sandstone on a plinth, with a hipped Welsh slate roof. It has two storeys at the front and four at the rear, and three bays. In the centre is a round-arched doorway with a fanlight and a hood mould, and to the left is a flat-headed doorway with an oblong fanlight. The windows are round-arched with impost blocks. Above the central doorway is a plaque inscribed "BETHEL" in Egyptian relief carving. At the rear is a small outhouse and cast iron area railings.

Our Lady Star of the Sea Church, Staithes

Our Lady Star of the Sea is a Catholic church in Staithes, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. Until the late 19th century, Catholics in Staithes worshipped at Ugthorpe or at Loftus. A church was constructed between 1884 and 1885, to a design by Martin Carr, in the Gothic Revival style. It cost about £1,250, and the first resident priest was installed in 1895. The church is built of sandstone and has a Welsh slate roof. It is a single space with a combined nave and chancel, measuring 70 feet (21 m) by 25 feet (7.6 m). There is a porch at the west end, below a statue of the Virgin and Child on the prow of a boat, carved by A. B. Wall. Above them is a circular window, and a gable end topped by a large bellcote. Nikolaus Pevsner was unimpressed by the bellcote and described it as "fussy". The windows are lancets, quite poorly carved. There is a presbytery attached to the southeast corner of the church, which may be contemporary or slightly later. Inside are a Gothic altar and pulpit, original pews, and one stained glass window installed in about 1973.
