I had to look up Whitby to see where it was located that it would have a harbour. I see it's on an estuary?

Not only does it have a harbour, it's where Dracula arrived in Britain.

That's right. It still has a fishing fleet.

Haven't been to Whitby in aeons. Does it still host the dreadful Dracula Museum?

It's was only dreadful to people who have no interest in Dracula.

Whitby Harbour

You take wonderful watercolors.

Thanks.

Do you know the work of the late Victorian Whitby photographer Frank Sutcliffe? If not I'd recommend googling him.

Warmly seconded. Whitby is one of my beloved places.

It is one of the most characterful towns I know.

I miss this town. Went to the Goth festival a couple of times.

It's a place of real character.
