I recently came across an old photo of Chuck, me, Maureen and my cousin Brian Westcott. I had the best Xmas of my life. Are any of you still around? I believe it was Wath-on-Dearne, where... [more]

I have a few photos... [more]

Just south of the abbey's cliffs lie these rocks, which show the inroads made by the alum mining industry during the previous centuries. Before the chemists discovered a simpler method of fixing the dyes used in cloth manufacturing, alum was successfully used for this purpose. It had first to be extracted from rich mineral-bearing stone. This was mined locally both at Saltwick and Sandsend, and... [more]

The railway line continues past the houses and the stone bridge of East Row, whilst the flow from the beck makes a tempting paddling pool. Bathing machines were still in use at this time, as we see on the right.

Nestling in the shelter of Lythe Bank, the ancient village holds the homes of many of the men who worked in the alum industry and on local estates. Alum was a chemical used in tanning leather and in the dyeworks to fix the dye used in the weaving industry. It was mined and extracted from local stone in the Whitby district,... [more]
