Looking towards Easington from Grinkle Lane

Easington is a village in the borough of Redcar and Cleveland and the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, England. It is located on the A174 near Loftus and inside the North York Moors National Park. It has a pub - the "Tiger Inn" and a church (All Saints). The village pub previously used to be the building at the other end of the village now called the White House; this was also named the Tiger - possibly a reference to a reported occasion when a circus called at the pub for refreshments. The village used to have a station on the Whitby to Middlesbrough railway line, variously called Easington and later Grinkle (after the local great house and seat of the Baronets Palmer, Grinkle Park); the renaming was undertaken to avoid confusion with the station at the (larger) Easington, County Durham, also on the North Eastern Railway's network.
