Yep. The Whitby of my childhood. My grandparents lived in Whitby and we had a two week holiday every summer there. Wonderful memories. Still visit regularly. As a child we had to drive from Surrey. Now I’m only 60 miles away in Ripon.
Hey thanks Dave I really enjoyed that.Great to see how the town was when I was a kid, although I don't remember St Michaels church as it must have been pulled down when I was very young. The Mint Green of the swing bridge was the colour the council used to paint the whole town annually. Every handrail and bench was done in that colour. Perhaps not pleasing on the eye, but nice to remember that the town was once cared for and maintained annually, unlike todays town which is left to rot for years before being replaced, no painting of handrails or benches these days.
Beautiful, just been this week. A really lovely place.
Glad you enjoyed the film

Thanks for the video Whitby is always will be a special place for me and my family
My pleasure!
It was so special to me all those years ago it's still special now the magic never fails
Just a lovely glimpse of lovely Whitby before its dreadful decline to the present horror .
and now totally overcrowded with tourists and 34% of houses are holiday lets....😥

Glad you enjoyed it. There are a couple of other films shot in Whitby on the channel, one from the late 70s and another from the 60s
