Some more, rather mixed, stuff from Whitby:

The wooden bridge over the beck at Sandsend - in BW again

Sandsend Village, there are two parts of Sandsend, these are what used 
to be the Mulgrave Estate workers cottages (the Marquis of Normanby has 
his castle on the hill here) which are now all owned by stock broker 
belt types, the village and the Victorian/Edwardian bit on the sea 
front, built around and between the fishermen's cottages which existed 
before the railways came - and went again in the mid sixties tahnks to 
Dr. Beeching and his axe.

Thank which ever deity you prefer that there are only two amusement 
arcades on the harbourside, opposite the fish gutting shed and the ice 
house.
This is one of them:

A purpose built  passenger boat, the Esk Belle II (Esk Belle I was a 
converted Dutch lifeboat that did trips up the River Esk)

I would rather have been on her that evening, about 3 mile offshore she 
met up with 32 Porpoises and a pair of Minke Whales.

A bit of photographic silliness - A George Bush "mug-shot" "Daft as a 
Bush" (Brush for those who don't know the true saying) seen in a 
souvenir shop (along with "The Last Mango in Paris", the "Garage of 
Figaro" to be pronounced Yorkshire style i.e. garridge.)

The sifting of hundreds of shots proceeds.
