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]
