Robin Hood's Bay railway station

Robin Hood's Bay railway station was a railway station on the Scarborough & Whitby Railway situated 15 miles (24 km) from Scarborough and 6 miles (9.7 km) from Whitby. It served the fishing village of Robin Hood's Bay, and to a lesser extent the village of Fylingthorpe. The station initially opened in 1885, and finally closed in 1965, along with the rest of the line. The station buildings survive, along with the station master's house, and are used for holiday accommodation, whilst the station yard is used as a car park. The Cinder Track multi-user path from Scarborough to Whitby passes through the site.

St Stephen's Church, Fylingdales

St Stephen's Church is the parish church of Fylingdales, and lies in Robin Hood's Bay, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The church was built between 1868 and 1870, to replace what is now Old St Stephen's Church, Fylingdales, on a more convenient site, close to Robin Hood's Bay railway station. It was designed by George Edmund Street in the Decorated Gothic style. The Victoria County History describes it as "a handsome if somewhat heavy Gothic building", and by Historic England as "a highly accomplished design with a good use of space, impressive massing combined with very effective restrained ornamentation that displays a high quality of both materials and craftsmanship". It has remained largely unaltered, and was grade II* listed in 1969. The church is built of sandstone with a red tile roof and a decorative ridge. It consists of a nave with a clerestory, a south aisle, a south porch, a chancel with a north organ chamber, a south chapel and vestry, and an apse at the east end, and a southeast tower. The tower has four stages, angle buttresses, string courses, lancet windows and a roundel in the second stage, the bell openings have moulded surrounds and hood moulds, and at the top is a saddleback roof. Inside, there are various stained glass windows designed by Henry Holiday, and a cylindrical font which is believed to have come from the village's demolished mediaeval church.

The Old Chapel, Robin Hood's Bay

The former Wesleyan Chapel on Chapel Street, Robin Hood's Bay, North Yorkshire, England, was built in 1779. John Wesley is recorded as preaching there on 28 June that same year. When built, the chapel was separated from the cliff top by a row of cottages, a road and a grass bank, but in 1780 there was a major cliff fall, bringing the cliff edge within feet of the building. The author Leo Walmsley was educated in the chapel's schoolroom. In 1936 a new Methodist church was opened in the upper village, and services were transferred away from the chapel.

United Reformed Church, Robin Hood's Bay

The United Reformed Church is a redundant church building in Robin Hood's Bay, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The Congregationalist J. C. Potter began preaching in a schoolroom in Robin Hood's Bay in 1838. In 1840, a church building was constructed at Fisher Head, on a prominent site above the beach. It originally accommodated 25 adherents in the village. In 1972, it was part of the majority of the Congregational Church of England and Wales which became part of the new United Reformed Church. The church building was closed and sold in the 21st century, with only one member transferring to Flowergate United Reformed Church in Whitby. The building has been grade II listed since 1969. The chapel is built of sandstone, and has a Welsh slate roof with stone copings and block kneelers. The entrance front is gabled, and has two storeys and three wide bays. Steps lead up to a central gabled porch with a trefoil finial containing double doors. The windows have pointed arches and hood moulds, and above the porch is an oval plaque with the date and an inscription. Some of the windows contain frosted glass, while the two at the rear have coloured glass which may be original.
