Although not my roots (at least in this lifetime  :)) I love Whitby having spent several wonderful holidays in the area.  I have a couple of FMS's books and would like to thank you for putting this link on here.  His photography shows us a way of life long gone.  I know many pictures were posed but they still evoke a melancholy.

I'm so glad that everyone is enjoying the Sutcliffe Gallery site.  There are some fantastic photographs on there and as Jen said, much of Whitby still looks the same as it did back then, which is rather nice.   However, there are parts, particularly at the bottom end of Church Street where the old houses were demolished to make room for a car park, which I find quite sad.

But it's one of the car parks in Whitby which I need to use when we are working there!! ;D
