The solitary fishing cobble seems dwarfed by the west pier lighthouse, in this view from the sea. Again a very calm sea, perhaps the photographer did not get seasick this time?

 The almost regulation view of the Abbey over the pond and for a change no cows intrude into this aspect. Image courtesy of Geoff Patton.  The view probably taken from the eastern side of the swingbridge presents a wonderful panorama of the harbourside and the towering buildings on East Terrace of the West Cliff. Image courtesy of Geoff Patton.  A view over the outer harbour, including St Mary’s Church and the Abbey. The waters of the harbour almost mirrorlike. Image courtesy of Geoff Patton.  The piers viewed from possibly the Battery area or from Kyber Pass. Image courtesy of Geoff Patton.  The great west doorway, of the Abbey. Destroyed by a shell during the bombardement from the German battleships in December 1914. Image courtesy of Geoff Patton.  Caedmon’s Cross viewed from the churchyard of St Mary’s church looking towards the West Cliff area. Image courtesy of Geoff Patton.  This is the first in a series of postcard views of Whitby; showing many differing views of the town, abbey, harbour and sands. Image courtesy of Geoff Patton.  The final postcard in our series, with a very apt title viewing the former Sandsend Hotel (now apartments) which enjoy breath taking views of the sea. Possibly a bit too breath taking when the sea is breaking over the roadway! Image courtesy of John G. Hannah.  The Alum house can be seen clearly through the pillars of the viaduct connecting to the station. Image courtesy of John G. Hannah |
