Warrenby Halt was a railway station which opened in 1920. It was built to serve the village of Warrenby near Redcar, England, and the nearby Dorman Long steelworks. It consisted of wooden platforms and brick shelters and was gas-lit. In 1978, the railway was diverted to allow for the building of the Redcar steelworks, leaving Warrenby bypassed.

Warrenby is a depopulated area of Redcar in the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, England. It is a light industrial area and is no longer residential.
Warrenby is on the edge of Coatham Marsh, and was originally called Warrenstown. It was founded in 1873, to provide housing for workers at the nearby ironworks of Downey & Co and Walker Maynard.
In the Warrenby Disaster of 1895, eleven men, many from the village of Warrenby, were killed in a boiler explosion at the works.
Warrenby Halt railway station was opened in 1920 as a halt on the Middlesbrough & Redcar Railway. This was to serve the nearby Dorman Long steelworks. In 1978, the railway was realigned to make way for the expansion of Redcar steel plant, and so the halt was demolished.

Dormanstown is an area of Redcar in the borough of Redcar and Cleveland and the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, England.
It was named after and built by the Dorman Long iron and steelworks in the 20th century. It was originally built to house Dorman's hundreds of steel workers and their families. The company built the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the steelworks was for some time considered the best in the world.
Dormanstown is also the site of Arriva North East's main bus depot for the Redcar area.
Dormanstown eventually grew, becoming a suburb of Redcar. Most of the now privately owned houses were built during the 1960s. Modern G2 apartments were built in the years 2007/2008, aimed at the younger generation to help them into the local housing market.
