The Whitby Pavilion is a theatre and events venue in Whitby, a town in North Yorkshire, in England. The building was constructed between 1876 and 1879, on the initiative of George Elliott. It was designed as a theatre, with a saloon and surrounded by pleasure grounds. After World War I, a large extension was constructed, known as the Floral Hall, used primarily for dances. The hall became dilapidated, and was demolished in 1989. The theatre was renovated, and the Northern Lights Suite was constructed in 1990, providing a cafe, and space for exhibitions and markets. The theatre can now seat 380 people, and the stalls can be removed to create a dancefloor. Since 2011, the theatre has also been used as a cinema. In 2012, Scarborough Borough Council partnered with Sheffield International Venues to operate the premises, but this was terminated in 2020 as it proved unprofitable. The building was designed by Julius Mayhew and Edward Smales in the Queen Anne style. It is described by Historic England as "a plain Victorian building of domestic appearance". The older section has a barrel vaulted ceiling.

Whitby is a seaside town, port and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England. It is on the Yorkshire Coast at the mouth of the River Esk and has a maritime, mineral and tourist economy. From the Middle Ages, Whitby had significant herring and whaling fleets, and was where Captain Cook learned seamanship. He first explored the southern ocean in HMS Endeavour, built there. Alum was mined locally, and Whitby jet jewellery was fashionable during the 19th century. Tourism started in Whitby during the Georgian period and developed with the arrival of the railway in 1839. The abbey ruin at the top of the East Cliff is the town's oldest and most prominent landmark. Other significant features include the swing bridge, which crosses the River Esk and the harbour sheltered by grade II listed east and west piers. There are statues of Captain Cook and William Scoresby, and a whalebone arch on the West Cliff. Whitby featured in literary works including Bram Stoker's novel Dracula. Whitby is 47 miles (76 km) from York and 22 miles (35 km) from Middlesbrough.

Caedmon College was a mixed secondary school and sixth form located in Whitby, North Yorkshire, England. The school is named after Cædmon, the earliest English (Northumbrian) poet whose name is known. Established in 1912 as the County School, Whitby, it was a mixed grammar school for pupils aged 11 to 18 until 1972 when it became comprehensive and was renamed Whitby School. At this time the school starting age decreased to 14. The school was renamed Whitby Community College in 1993 when the school started to offer adult education classes. In September 2014 Whitby Community College merged with Caedmon School to form Caedmon College and increased its starting age to 11 once again. Today Caedmon College is a community school administered by North Yorkshire Council. The emblem of the County School was Captain Cook's ship HMS Endeavour, portrayed with the Whitby ammonites on the sail and a flag composed of the flag of England with the upper third having three white roses on a red background. Caedmon College offers GCSEs, BTECs and Cambridge Nationals as programmes of study for pupils, while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A-levels and further BTECs. In February 2019 the college agreed to federate with nearby Eskdale School creating the Whitby Secondary Partnership.

The Church of St Ninian is a former place of worship in Whitby, North Yorkshire, England. The building was a proprietary chapel, the only one in the whole of Yorkshire, and one of only two Anglican churches to be dedicated to St Ninian in England. St Ninian's used to serve as an Anglican place of worship (as a chapel of ease to St Mary's Church, which is on the east cliff at Whitby). St Ninian's later became involved in the Anglican Catholic Church after a disagreement with the Church of England over the ordination of women priests. The church is noted for its interior woodwork, crafted by men who worked in the shipyards at Whitby noted for turning out the ships used by Captain Cook on his explorations looking for Terra Australis. The church was the second oldest Anglican church in the town of Whitby, with more churches and chapels being built after St Ninian's. The church ceased to be a functioning religious house in 2019.

Following the placement of a motor-lifeboat at Whitby, Upgang lifeboat station was closed in 1919.

Whitby Lifeboat Station is a Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) lifeboat station located in Whitby, North Yorkshire, England. It is one of nine situated along the Yorkshire coast. Whitby has had a lifeboat station since 1802, with the RNLI responsible since 1861. In its 200 plus year history, Whitby has had five different lifeboat stations (although not all operated at the same time). A sixth lifeboat and station was located at Upgang, just up the coast from Whitby, and whilst it was considered separate from Whitby, it was crewed by men from the Whitby lifeboat. The present day station covers a huge swathe of the northern coast from the Humber to Hartlepool, and is regularly listed as the busiest in the north of England. The station has two lifeboats; a 13-metre (43 ft) Shannon-class All-weather lifeboat (ALB) 13-49 Lois Ivan (ON 1356), and the D-class (IB1) Inshore lifeboat (ILB) Warter Priory (D-810).
