House & Family History: Newby Wiske was purchased by the Home Office in 1949 for £13,000; the house was reconstructed and opened in 1954 by North Riding Constabulary as a district police training center. Newby Wiske was transferred to the North Yorkshire Police in 1976 and reopened as their new headquarters in September 1977. In 2017 the North Yorkshire Police moved to Alverton Court and Newby Wiske was sold to the activity holiday company PGL, who renovated the house and opened it as youth adventure center.
