A superb panoramic view of Whitby harbour, photographed from the Churchyard cliff, with the imposing Royal Hotel overshadowing the traditional fishing cottages along the quayside. This image is crammed with fascinating period detail, including groups of bathing huts, children playing on the beach and the sailing boat making its way into the harbour in what appears to be a considerable swell. The picture makes an interesting comparison with Whitby as it is today.
