Holy Trinity Church is a former church in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, a town in England. The Anglican church was built in 1879, to a design by Ewan Christian. It is in a 13th-century Gothic revival style. The church closed in the 1980s, and in 1990 its benefice was united with that of St James' Church, which was rededicated as St James with Holy Trinity Church. In 1998, the fixtures were removed, including stained glass by Charles Eamer Kempe, and in 2001, the building was converted into flats. The building has been grade II listed since 1973. The church is built of sandstone with a slate roof, and consists of a nave and a chancel in one unit with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a south vestry and a polygonal parish room, and a northwest tower. The tower has three stages, and contains a north doorway with a pointed arch with a cusped circle in the tympanum, and on the west side is a polygonal turret. The middle stage contains lancet windows, the bell openings have two lights, and above is a tall pyramidal spire with lucarnes. The north aisle has four gabled bays, each containing three stepped lancet windows.

Scarborough Londesborough Road railway station

Scarborough Londesborough Road railway station, originally called Washbeck Excursion Station, was built as an excursion station to ease operating pressure at Scarborough Central in the holiday resort of Scarborough. It had a through and a bay platform. Excursion trains from all over the country could be routed into it rather than the main Central station to disembark their passengers before heading onwards to the Whitby branch line to be stabled in carriage sidings at Northstead/Gallows Close on the town's northern outskirts. Return services would follow the same route in the opposite direction to load up before departure. It was opened on 8 June 1908 by the North Eastern Railway, but it was not advertised in public timetables until 1933, after it had been upgraded to a public station. It had one through platform which could handle a 14-carriage train, and a south-facing end platform which could handle 11-carriage trains. It was closed to passenger trains by British Railways on 25 August 1963, but remained in use for stabling coaching stock until its official closure on 4 July 1966.The station building and the remains of the 14 coach long platform can still be seen from trains on the Yorkshire Coast Line and on the York to Scarborough section of the North TransPennine route on the west side of the tracks approaching Scarborough. However, most of the platform has been demolished due to the construction of a new service depot for TransPennine Express trains.
