Whitby is blessed with many splendid waterside views. Here we are looking at the east side from the busy road-bridge. The other side of these white houses backs onto perhaps the most popular street in the old town area; Sandgate. Once large cargo ships passed this point to the warehouses some way behind me. Now this side houses a few pleasure craft and the lifeboat station (RNLI –see adjacent photo or PiP). Best full screen.

After reading Rosalyn Hilborne's comment on the previous page I tried to take a look on line to see the bridge opened and was surprised of how few there were and also what poor quality ones there was of them. So I took a look in my archives and found this from 2014, when we were last there. Hope you enjoy it. As always, deserves full size.

Whitby, a seaside, fishing town on the North Yorkshire coast. Made famous by its hilltop Abbey and the towns connections to Bram Stoker's Dracula. However the fact that Captain Cook once lived here is perhaps of more importance. This monochromatic view helps to remind us of another of its famous inhabitants, the photographer: Frank Meadow Sutcliffe. www.sutcliffe-gallery.co.uk/gallery.html Full size screen essential
