Crossed wires ! We don't live in Whitby (if only ),we are from Derby,but we spend every summer holiday there and also a week at Christmas(would highly recommend this !!).We also spend lots of weekends and day trips there.Know the area really well and love it so much we keep going back-even got married there !!
We WILL be moving up there as soon as our son leaves school if not before,only a few years to go.

All over but my Nanna and Grandad lived all their lives in Chaddesden and my Mum grew up there. My Uncle and cousing all live there still, i think its Mackworth, but not 100% sure as i dont see them anyumore. Do you know a pub near the railway in the town called the Alexandra?

[whitbybabe]

Certainly know where it is,but do not go in town pubs.

julie, your lucky ducks question must have been some time ago, or I missed it. I've been a Whitby-o-phile for more years than I care to remember, and I know about them! One of my enduring memories of Whitby is from when I was a regularly working musician and I had to do a set-up in the BIg Bamboo at 7am for a gig that evening. It wasn't a pleasant experience............

[Narolines]

Ah - I wasn't in the UK round about then, so I probably missed it.
