Description

The Wellington Hotel, originally known as The Whitby Way, dates to the mid-18th century. It is a three-storey building constructed of painted brick, with horizontal bands marking the floor levels. Rusticated quoins define the corners, and a plinth runs along the base. The original south facade facing Baxtergate had three windows on each floor, featuring double-hung sashes with glazing bars. A single window on the ground floor has been blocked, and a modern window has been inserted to the left. The front facing Wellington Road was remodelled at some point.

The Whitby Way receives an average of 860 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 60% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 74% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 9 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 92% of listed buildings. Of these, 6 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
