Hi folks. Thank you for checking out my Stumble page. I'm a yorkshire lad here to checkout Stumble and with a bit of luck find some interesting sites and maybe make a few friends along the way. I work for the local council as a cleaner and caretaker, I have three daughters and two grandchildren, I separated from my wife back in 2006. I dabble in photography, I'm not very good at it but I enjoy it. I like walking in the local countryside, collecting local amateur art, and spending as much time as I can with my family. Please feel free to contact me, review my blog, or add me as a friend. Us Yorkshire folk are friendly so don't be shy. lol

May 4, 8:10am: One of my photos of Whitby Harbour as seen from the Abbey.

Whitby's skyline is dominated by the ruins of St. Hilda's Abbey, high on Whitby's East Cliff. Spreading below Whitby, a maze of alleyways and narrow streets run down to the busy quayside. From the old town of Whitby, 199 steps lead up to the parish church of St. Mary, whose churchyard on Whitby's East Cliff gave Bram Stoker the inspiration to write his world famous book, Dracula.

Whitby has produced its own famous sons. Among these are Captain James Cook, the 18th century explorer and voyager who sail in the Bark Endeavour from Whitby, the outstanding father and son whaling masters of the Scoresby family and pioneer photographer, Frank Meadow Sutcliffe.

Having a unique old world charm, for centuries Whitby has provided a safe haven for shipping and fishing fleets. Whitby was once the main whaling port for the North of England.
