Office reroofed c.1980. For the Whitby and Pickering Railway Company.
Original part in hammered sandstone; extension in bordered tooled
sandstone with added red brick lean-to in English garden wall bond.
Pantile roofs, and stone and rebuilt brick stacks. L-shaped on plan.
Railway front: 2-storey and attic, 3-window, gable-end: 2-storey and
basement, 3-window extension at right. Gable end has plank double; doors
beneath painted cambered timber lintel at left of inserted 6-pane sash with
painted stone sill. On first floor, 2-light mullioned windows flank later
inserted 3-light casement. Lunette attic window in architrave, beneath
semicircular hoodmould. Lintels to inserted windows are bordered and
tooled. Overhanging bracketed eaves with plain bargeboards. Right side
stack at base of pitched roof. Extension has C20 replacement door in
raised elliptical-arched surround, between unequal 9-pane sashes. 12-pane
sashes on first floor and 6-pane on second: central windows on both floors
are blind. All windows have painted stone sills and tooled lintels.
Raised first floor band. Left-of-centre stack. Right return: 2-storey,1-

Original building probably built as warehousing and used jointly by the
railway company and the licensee of the Tunnel Inn (now the Station Tavern,
q.v.), John Buttery. A stable adjoining the warehouse on the east said to
have been destroyed by Second World War bomb. By 1856, the present Post
Office was in existence, combined with a grocer's shop. The ground floor
of the warehouse was still used for that purpose, while the second floor
had become a reading-room and library, and the third floor a shoemaker's
shop.
