The original Whitby Youth Hostel, opened in 1933, can be seen on top nof the East Cliff at the end of the street.
A severely eroded plaque beside the gated entrance to the old hostel at the top of the 199 steps proclaims that "This Hostel was made possible through the efforts and work of International Voluntary Service - 1933"
