Grosmont is a village in [[North Yorkshire]], not very far from the historic tourist resort / fishing port of [[Whitby]].
It's most prominent feature is the Railways.... the local station being where the Esk Valley Railway between Whitby & [[Middlesbrough]] meets up with one of the end terminuses of the [[North Yorkshire Moors Railway]] - one of the leading [[preservation]] [[railway]] lines in the [[United Kingdom]], and privately run by volunteers.
The village is also home to the NYMR's Engine shed, where the locomotives are stored / maintained / overhauled. It's virtually a Railway Enthusiast's paradise.
One of the most recent & famous "patients" to have been overhauled there being the [[A4 Pacific]] named [[Sir Nigel Gresley]] - the same design of steam locomotive as [[Mallard]], record holder for the world's fastest steam locomotive.
Next stop on the NYMR's line through there is [[Goathland]]
