Over the years Whitby has had many characters. Many of the older faces have now gone and sadly there appears to be no photographs of them on the internet. This is my page dedicated to the People of Whitby today.

Can you put names to any of the faces ? please drop us a line at realwhitby@gmail.com

Ill try get some women shots for you. I wonder if the likes Of Dorothy Clegg And Sandra Turner would agree to being shot (in a strictly photographic sense) for Real Whitby.

I live near Leeds and I have always loved Whitby. After starting family history research I was really surprised to find I have a link with Whitby/Lythe /Barnby going back to 1612.

I am interested to hear from anyone with links to the Stonehouse or Eden family.Especialy descendants of Philip Stonehouse born in Whitby in 1764
