Man made the trough
The water God bestows
Then praise his name
From whom the blessing flows
John Allan
Hempsyke 1856
Weary stranger here you see
An emblem of true charity
Richly my bounty I bestow
Made by a kindly hand to flow
And I have fresh supplies from heaven
For every cup of water given
John Allan
Hempsyke 1858
The stream is pure as if from heaven it ran
And while I praise the Lord I’ll thank the man

Show on map The station opened on 3rd December 1883 as part of the Whitby, Redcar and Middlesbrough Union Railway
The line along the coast closed on 5th May 1958 although this station remained open as part of the Whitby to Scarborough line until it closed on 12th June 1961.
The station is now converted into houses and a bridge still stands over the abandoned tracks, which seems to have been adopted as someones garden above.

Show on map The Admiral Van Tromp was a Scarborough trawler that ran aground on 30/09/1976.
The exact circumstance of the accident remain a mystery as the boat was on completely the wrong course and a senior nautical surveyor at the inquest stated it appeared it was driven onto the rocks deliberately.
No-one will ever know the real reasons as the man at the wheel John ‘Scotch Jack’ Addison was killed, along with one other crew member.
The details of the accident are covered in much greater detail on the website of the Scarborough Maritime Heritage Centre
Again, check the tide tables before visiting wreck sites and needing a rescue yourself.
Show on map The Rohilla was launched by Harland and Wolff in Belfast on the 6th September 1906. On 6th August 1914 she became a hospital ship.
At 4am on 29th October 1914 the Rohilla struck rocks at Saltwick Nab near Whitby with 229 people on board. A huge rescue attempt was mounted that lasted several days due to the terrible weather conditions, however over 80 people perished. A huge amount of details on the disaster can be found on this website
A few fragments of the ship can be found to the west of Saltwick Nab, although care should be taken to check tide tables before visiting. Much more of the wreck remain still under the water.
Show on map The MV Creteblock was constructed in Shoreham around 1919/20 from reinforced concrete rather than steel which was in short supply during World War 1 (although it was completed too late to see active service)
Smiths Dock used the vessel as a tug until 1934/1935 when she was brought to Whitby to be scrapped, the ship deteriorated there until 1947 when she was finally to be scuttled in deep water, however the boat sank in shallow water just outside the harbour and was later blown up
Care should be taken to check the tides before visiting this location
