Further away is what I assume to be the old Whitby Farmers building&#8221;. Norman Patton suggested: &#8220;Graham Street and the building to the right is probably the Methodist Chapel. Further to the right there was a row of detached and semi-detached bungalows at the bottom of Cleveland Street and close to the mine&#8221;. Derick agreed; advising: &#8220;Lower Cleveland Street was on the way to what they hoped would be New London in times past&#8221;.
