The Magpie Cafe History The Magpie Café is housed in a distinctive black and white building overlooking the harbour in the historic port of Whitby. The dining room commands excellent views of the harbour, Abbey and St. Mary’s Church. The Magpie Café has a long association with fishing and the shipping industry. It was built in 1750 as a Merchant’s House and during its history was owned by a member of the Scoresby whaling family and was for a time the pilotage where the pilots would wait for orders to bring vessels into the harbour. he building later became Harrowings shipping office and it is from that time the Magpie ghost Albert is reputed to have originated. The premises were converted into a café in approximately 1939.
