I live about 20 miles up the coast from whitby and have visited whitby all my life , in the 70s if you looked at the Quay side then you would of seen trawlers and crab and lobster boats 3 deep 20 boats long tied up at the quay , now its about 10 to 20 if your lucky of working boats , no white fish is landed at whitby nowadays, i think only shell fish , but there is hope the fish landing / market is now being turned into a lobster breeding sanctuary, same i think as the one in Padstow in cornwall these will be bred and released to sea to grow on , whitby is open all year round as a holiday destination now with lots of weekend activities all year from goth weekend ,60s , 70s week ends ,folk week, regatta week ect , whitby is a great place ,
Captain Cook wasn't a whitby man he was born in Marton Middlesbrough. I had a look at his mother's grave in great Ayton a few days ago his father's buried a few mile away at maske by the sea. The church cook was baptised in still stands in Marton and you can see his name in the baptism records
Thank you for uploading this. A beautiful place to visit. The Magpie for Fish and Chips but such history.
Interesting learning and seeing how my ancestors and relatives may've lived
Hey up mate thanks for a great video you did a good job on our Whitby
Strange to think that every man, woman, child and animal is now no longer with us.
It is pretty bizarre
I often think that when watching old stuff .
