A Brief History
The Langley was built in 1851 and opened as the Lancaster Boarding House in 1854. George Hudson known for his interest in the railways came to Whitby and immediately fell in love with the town. He saw its potential as a place for the new wealthy Industrialists of the north to visit. Whitby also had its own Spa at the time and taking of the waters was very fashionable in those days.

George Hudson had a vision of Whitby having its own Royal Crescent just like Bath, so he bought the land now known as the West Cliff and commissioned a builder by the name of Langdale to build a grand Crescent for visitors, the neighbouring streets were to be built with houses for the gentry Shipping Merchants, Solicitors etc. The Crescent was never completed.
 
During the Second World War the M.O.D. took possession of the buildings on the sea front for military barracks & The Langley was turned into accommodation for the Army, The Officers were based at the Royal Hotel of course!. It is said that you could walk from one end of the crescent to the other without going outside as doorways were knocked through. The lovely Victorian Railings were taken down as the metal was required for the war effort.
