Background
History
Sandsend and the neighbouring village of East Row began as separate villages but were joined when extra cottages were built for workers in the alum industry. The former Roman Cement Mill and lime kiln survive. Sandsend was also buoyed by tourism from the Whitby, Redcar and Middlesbrough Union Railway, which ran through the village from 1855 to 1958. From 1974 to 2023, Sandsend was part of the Borough of Scarborough; it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.
Visiting
In the 1947 British comedy drama Holiday Camp, the opening shots of a train arriving at a cliff-top station and passengers boarding buses outside the station were filmed at Sandsend.
