From Sandsend to Whitby the coast is guarded by banks 



of glacial clay, similar to those which occur between Marske 



and Saltburn. This is the tract of the lowest depression of the 



strata. The Lias is not anywhere to be seen, and the Oolite 



forms the foundation of the sea-bank, from the base of which 



extends a beach of sand, the greater part of which is overflowed 



at high water. The following are the rare plants of the sea 



bank, and maritime plants of the shores of the Esk and other 



places in the neighbourhood of Whitby :

From the Esk southward the beds rise in the direction of 



the anticlinal axis. Between Whitby and Baytown extends a 



continuous range of cliffs, the highest of which is under 200 



feet in altitude. At first the Upper Lias Shale occupies the 



shore, and at Hawsker only a small depth of it is seen, and
