Scalby Manor, and its link with Jack the Ripper Bit of a chequered history! 
The Manor, designed by architects William Sugden & Son, was built in 1885, originally named Wyndyate. It was built for Mr. Edwin Brough, a silk manufacturer from Leek in Staffordshire, who lived there until 1910 when it was sold. Brough was a breeder of bloodhounds.

From 1910 to 1939 it was a private house, and was then sold to Scarborough Council who turned into a guest house. It then became a hotel and then once more ended up in council hands. It was bought by Whitbreads in 1995.

Hostel, recently sold The hostel stands beside Scalby Beck (Sea Cut). Hopefully, the building will have a continuing use for educational purposes.

Flow gauging station and weirs on Sea Cut The Sea Cut was built in 1804. In 1799 there was severe flooding in the vales of Derwent and Hertford and local landowners looked for a solution to the problem. Mr William Chapman, Engineer, recommended the digging of a canal to link the Derwent at Mowthorpe, to Scalby Beck, which flowed into the sea at Scalby Mills. The formation of this artificial flood relief channel from the River Derwent, means that Scalby Beck is now much wider. The diversion occurs about 10 km upstream of West Ayton into a channel called the Sea Cut along a previously dry sided valley.
