Whitby Harbour and Captain Cook's Museum A memory of Whitby, North Yorkshire I remember going to Captain Cooks Museum that year. I don't quite remember the walk up the hill. We went through the quaint little museum. Its at that point, I guess when my father and mother lingered to see more of the museum, and me and my siblings wandered out and back down to our camper. I remember going down the hill, and it was quite a twisty path, and buying a bag of cockles from a vendor. My parents asked me what I was eating and to their suprise it was snails. My mother was horrified. My dad just laughed. I was hungry, I would have eaten anything. I remember that day with fond memories. Posted: 21/11/2008 17:59 by Evelyn Jepson |

 Whitby, the Upper Harbour c1955 (ref: W81040) |
Year: 1953
Power Boats A memory of Whitby, North Yorkshire The wooden clinker built boat, painted white in the lower right of the picture, was one of a pair of fast boats that the late Arthur Shippey and Tom Louis ran from coffee house end steps. They would call loudly ""half hour trips round the bay now"" -- ""come on down"". Tourists were happy to pay 1/6d for the pleasure of getting soaked to the skin. As a small boy living close to the harbour in Baxtergate, I was well known to Arthur (who lived next door) Tom liked a drink in our pub, so I was always allowed to take a free ride when things were quiet. I can tell you that this was a huge thrill. I often wonder what became the fate of the power boats. Last edited: 26/06/2008 09:15 by Jim Evans |

 Whitby, the Bridge 1913 (ref: 66266) |
The swing bridge. A memory of Whitby, North Yorkshire This is a swing bridge - it swings horizontally. It actually swings out in two halves to rest over the pointed timber structures that can be seen in the river. These timber structures are known locally as 'dolphins' and are sometimes used when maintenance of the bridge arms is required. The large building on the far side of the river at the end of the bridge to the right is the Dolphin Hotel. Presumably it takes its name from the bridge dolphins.
