Whitby engine shed, Railway depot in Whitby, England.

The Engine Shed features two internal roads, a coaling road, and an external siding, with its west side built against a steep bank without windows.

Built in 1847 by the York & North Midland Railway company, the structure underwent expansion in 1868 to accommodate the increasing number of steam locomotives.

The Grade II listed building represents Victorian railway architecture and stands as the final remaining structure from Whitby Station's original support facilities.

The structure now contains eleven apartments for visitors, positioned near the current Whitby railway station and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway line.

During World War II, German bombing destroyed the northern section, which was sealed with bricks instead of being reconstructed due to resource limitations.
