In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Lealholme like this:

LEALHOLME, a vale and a railway station, in Glaisdale parish, N. R. Yorkshire. The vale is traversed by a brook to the river Esk, at a point 10 miles WSW of Whitby; is well wooded to the length of about a mile; and has rocky sides about 150 feet high. The railway station is on the North Yorkshire and Cleveland railway, adjacent to the foot of the vale.
