Whitby is a popular seaside town on the North East coast of Yorkshire,
famous around the world for its associations with Captain James Cook.
Eddie Caswell, whose acting roles include that of Whitby’s harbourmaster in Heartbeat, takes us on a tour around the town and describes its fascinating history over the last 2000 years. Take a look inside a smoking shed, see some of the unique items inside the church, and find out how Victorians ‘took the waters’.
To put 2000 years of history into less than an hour is an impossible task but we hope that this film will give you a flavour of what awaits today’s visitor and serve as an introduction to its delights.

for someone who will probably never see Whitby i think you did a very fine and thorough job. I was watching a different documentary on schooners (don't ask me why...my interests are as random as dandelion fluff on the breeze. never know where they'll land!) in the comments someone mentioned how sails are becoming more appealing thanks to the whole climate change thing. I hope it continues to catch on, maybe towns like Whitby will see another resurrection in popularity as a result.

I came across this video at a bad time for me, so THANK YOU, it's helping my broken heart... 💔 One of my favourite places - i lived down the road from Marton - whilst growing up, Stewarts Park is where i walked my brothers dogs, there's a plaque in the Park on the spot where Cook's house stood - Sydney Harbour Bridge was built from Dorman Long {Middlesbrough} Steel - it was built or open on 19/03/???? - 19/03 is my birthday Why haven't you mentioned about the 'Synod of Whitby' - VERY important in the history of ENGLAND, in that it was decided England follow the RC Church, as opppossed to the Celtic Church ...also, America's Jackson {???} - during the War of Independence - he admired Cook so much, that he ordered that should he been found in America - {i believe Cook was charting Canada at the time} - that he was to be left alone {being British, so an enemy at the time} ...also, the 'Penny Hedge' a centuries old tradition

Is that Johnny Collins singing the Shanty?? I would like to know. Anyone reading this now in July '22 will be in time for Whitby Folk Week, starts 20th August, when the town and all the pubs will be heaving with music, dance and song. See you there !! 👍😁 🎼🎶🎵

I think the origin of Grape Lane being Grope Lane is a bit of a stretch.

Excellent video, but the Esk was not the only salmon River in Yorkshire. The Aire used to have salmon.

Prior to the pollution of the Industrial Revolution all the Yorkshire rivers would have had salmon running up them. Perhaps they will return - a few years ago I caught a sea trout on double maggot at Catterick on the River Swale.

I visited Whitby for the 1st time this year and although the town itself is beautiful, the current poverty in this area is unfortunately apparent as the poor descend upon it at weekends for major piss-up’s

To Sharyn Khan. Well, I visited a fish and chip restaurant by the famous Harry Ramadan ( in Eastbourne on the south coast, actually). Although you couldn't say there was anything actually wrong with the dinner (the at- first nice chips on the pier did have a slightly greasy taste) , even so what was "spectacular" about Harry Ramadan chips - which were ALSO supposed to the best in the world? I've also had their frozen fish and chips from the supermarket. Again fine, but nothing spectacular. They ALL say theirs are amazing , as a matter of course. It's a tradition to say so!

This is an addition to my last " comment" about fish and chips. Or rather NOT my own comment, if you get what I mean! My phone has a (So- called ) spell checker, that keeps altering the words. If I tried using a French name, for example, it would very likely change it into something rude! I DEFINATELY hadn't meant to comment about Harry Ramadan chips! I will have to get round the spell checker devise, by leaving a gap between each letter. Here goes ...... HARRY R A M S D E N !
