Birch Hall Inn

Contemporary with the arrival of the Whitby to Pickering Railway and the establishment of the Whitby Iron Company in Beckhole, in the mid 19th century, the landlords, Ralph and Mary Dowson added a second floor to the original cottages, and added a three story extension to the building, originally used as a shop with tenements above for industrial workers.
