WHITBY

Whitby is a picturesque harbour town on the East coast of Yorkshire.
The earliest record of the town is 656.
In 1795 Whitby was a major whaling port with ships bringing whales back from Greenland. The meat, bone and blubber of the whale were all used so nothing was wasted.
The main industry in the area today is fishing and tourism.
