Wrangle Show

Over the past few years we've been regularly visiting Wrangle Show. The village show has been running since the 19th century. I wonder what the Victorians would make of today's attractions!

Despite the stunt show, acrobats and RAF flyover my favourite feature is always the fruit and veg competition. I keep promising myself I'll enter one year :-)

Whitby Harbour Lighthouse

Whitby harbour is home to two lighthouses. The west lighthouse was built in 1835 and is the tallest at 25m. For a small fee it's possible to climb the 81 steps to admire the view :-)

Seagulls are Aggressive

“Seagulls are agressive. Do not feed them.”

I spotted this sign by Bridlington harbour. Are seagulls really aggressive? Have you ever been attacked by one? :-)

Sunset Across North Bay

We returned to our B&B just in time to watch the sun set across Scarborough North Bay :-)

Scarborough North Bay

Our B&B in Scarborough overlooked the North Bay a short walk away from the main attractions.

Flamborough Old Lighthouse

Flamborough Old Lighthouse is a 24m high octagonal tower built in 1669 by Sir John Clayton. On a clear day the top of the lighthouse is visible in Bridlington.

Ghost Signs of Whitby

Ghost signs are old hand painted signs for businesses that are long gone. Arthur Sawdon was a seller of beds and carpets while Thomas Bryan was a wholesale jet merchant. Are there any ghost signs in your area?

Whitby Abbey

The lighthouse of Whitby Harbour offers a fantastic view towards the ruins of Whitby Abbey.

Scarborough Harbour

This morning we spent a couple of hours wandering around Scarborough harbour which looks beyond the lighthouse into South Bay.

Whitby Harbour

From the top of Whitby lighthouse there's a view of the harbour wall. The sea is to the right and the calm water of the harbour to the left.

45407 - The Lancashire Fusilier

Last weekend we spotted locomotive number 45407 the Lancashire Fusilier in Whitby. The engine was built in 1937 for the LMS Railway.
