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.

the picture of Roy Townsend was in the late 80s looks like his record fish….bless him,what a character indeed,learnt me a lot and im from way out the whitby area,i delibrately came to ruswarp to learn his ways and pick his brains about reading the river…..and learn me he did…..
Glenn, superb photos, I see what you mean about your new 50mm lens. Naughty Pirate, Nigel Ward & Gereald Dennnet, beautifully clear and crisp. Keep posting!
Thanks Tom. Cheep as chips lens but does a very good job.
Lovely photos….but what about Whitby Women!? Not many showcased here 🙂
Which Whitby women would you like to see ?
Those who are making a difference in the town?
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
Cheers Ray Starling
Despite several years of telling the Real Whitby site my name is Fritz Fitton, My photos on your site are still ascribed to “Franz Fritton”. This is unacceptable. My lawyers here in Australia are about to sue you if this is not changed. You have been warned. It will be costly to you if you do not immediately rectify this problem.
We are looking for our friend janine and her son Vincent , also has daughter called nardia who stayed in southampton, who moved to Whitby from shirley Southampton UK in 2005/6. Can anyone help. Janine was a goth and a brilliant stonemason.
