Whitby 9 – Kyber Pass and West Cliff

Viewed possibly from the top of the 199 steps, Kyber Pass with East Terrace above seems devoid of traffic. A quiet day in Whitby?

Whitby 8 – Harbour from the Sea

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?

Whitby 7 – The Abbey

The almost regulation view of the Abbey over the pond and for a change no cows intrude into this aspect.

Whitby 6 – West Cliff and the Harbourside

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.

Whitby 5 – East Cliff and Abbey

A view over the outer harbour, including St Mary’s Church and the Abbey. The waters of the harbour almost mirrorlike.

Whitby – Tate Hill Pier and St Mary’s Church

Again from a glass plate this delightful view of Whitby shows the town as it used to be, believed to be dated from the early 20th century.
