Whitby

I’ve wondered for a long time why she has not been made a Dame. With her tremendous charity work she is far more deserving than a lot of people who have got a Damehood.

Apart from its mr chips for me

Gutted as it’s become our annual tradition to take the day off work after the super bowl and spend the day in Whitby. I love it when it’s old and closed out of season as you can just explore that magical place without the crowds and the dramatic coast line in the winter seas ending up
In mr chips.

Next week I’ll be off but sadly no Whitby trip this year.

I love Trenchers for fish and chips.

Was in there one night and people had to queue after we got seated. A couple with a midlands accent got seated near us and both ordered steak pie, chips and mushy peas.

I thought they could have got that from any pub.

A bit disappointing that quite a few TV programmes that go to Whitby nowadays focus the majority of their visit on Dracula and Goths.

Talking about Dracula has anyone ever read the book? I have and enjoyed it although I wish the ending had been a bit better, felt rushed.
I also read that some people think that Dracula represents the fear that people had all the time about immigration from Eastern Europe.
 
I think you mean the Abbey not Priory.

My parents moved there when I was 12, but it was not the same living there as visiting. It was a desperate fight finding a free parking space even to use a supermarket, in the end I walked 30 minutes each way into Town. Back in the 1970s it was quite isolated and insulated with a legacy of distant family members marrying each other. Everyone seemed to be related to each other at school, except if you were an outsider, so outsiders tended to band together until they have lived there 30 years. It has changed now as visitors come all the year round with many having holiday cottages, the local have been a bit dwarfed. I remember in the 1980s there were no night clubs and no cinema and the theatre was only open for the Summer Season, but 40 fish and chip shops.
