This was a beautiful film, made both carefully and with affection. It had particular resonance with me as I grew up alongside the old S&WR. I am familiar with the line history thanks to the work of Robin Lidster but this visual presentation really brought things alive. I particularly enjoyed the interviews with the owners of the Cloughton, Robin Hoods Bay and Hawsker stations. Lovely to see what has been made of the Cloughton station post closure, see some of the original fittings at Robin Hoods and hear from a former line worker at Hawsker. Thank-you ever so much for making this gem of a film. My father who is now in poor health really enjoyed watching it as a way of 'getting out of the house'.

The Roman Tower has to have been where it was visible to the others in the system, both north & south, so has to be on higher ground that in the reconstruction picture in this video. Try further south & higher uphill, until Scarborough Castle, Filey Brig, & Flamborough Head are each in line of sight, but separated from each other, so that indicators on the Ravenscar tower could be made to distinguish each from the others to make signalling between them viable. Also others have to be seen from here to the north, probably one at Whitby, recorded as 'the bay of the lighthouse' by Bede, intermediate stations may be required to complete the system, possibly as far as Teesmouth, or even the Tyne. Even inland towers may have existed, as one seems to have been found at Staxton Wold, inland of, & visible from the Scarborough Station. It is possible that the signal/warning system reached as far as Malton and/or other inland Forts, to bring large scale aid to the coast when there was a raid. The foundations of a Signal Station were not found on the site of the hotel, but some stones, somewhere in the area, including the one bearing the Justinianus inscription. Thus it is not clear where the actual station will have once stood, but it is to be looked for in the best place for suitable sight lines to make the system viable. Without knowing the total number of stations in the system, it is not true to say that Ravenscar was the central one of the coastal group, for surely there had to have been one on Flamborough Head, that could relay messages to the Naval & Army base at Brough, as these stations had as much to do with Roman naval patrols as enemy invasions. It is also not true that the Roman occupation was a period of constant difficulties. In fact after the initial conquest long periods of peace followed, with only rare & occasional difficulties, usually at times of regime change & inter Roman disputes. Barbarian raids did not become a great problem until the fourth century, & again these were periodic, not constant. Security in Britain was maintained pretty well for most of the time, & indeed the fourth century can be shown to have been among the most prosperous eras , with occasional support from some further Roman forces of the mobile field army crossing the Channel to restore order on particular occasions right up until the very end of the century, under Stilicho, who left the Province in peace. It was troubles in mainland Europe that caused the removal of Roman forces from Britain, not things within Britain forcing them out. Even then only the most useful troops will have left, which means the mobile, mostly by this date, mounted Legions, & any noted as Comitenses. The bulk of Roman troops in Britain would have been the Limitani, that is the defensive forces, manning the Auxiliary Forts spread around the country, & the stations on Hadrian's Wall, & probably including those in old Legionary bases such as York. These mostly immobile units would have been of little use for the continental wars, & would in any case have been very difficult to persuade to leave a Province where most had been settled for two or three centuries. Even the upstart Constantine 3rd will have been unable to move such troops abroad in his campaign for Empire. In any case he will have wanted to protect his back & the Province of Britannia, as a place to retreat to if necessary. As it was, after several years of success, he was defeated & killed, & at this time any troops from Britain that were with him will have been prevented from returning to the Province. Then continuing troubles in Europe prevented Rome from sending a replacement administration to Britain, so the Province became detached from the Empire, permanently as it turned out, but by default.

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 understand the reasoning for Anne being buried in Scarborough....she did love it there, and another funeral so soon after the two recent ones would be hard on Mr. Bronte, but it kind of sounded like Anne wanted to be home for her passing. I have always found it sad that she isn't with the rest of the family. I think it would be nice if Anne could be moved and they could all be together again. Just mho.

The scathing critique of _Tenant..._ is simply a trotting out of that age's general distaste of the novel as a lit form. To them writing novels was too expository, too personal. The description of a person's details, in- and outward, was considered crass and crude, voyeuristic and unseemly. It was said Germany was the land of _Dichter und Denker,_ poets and thinkers. Intentionally left out was novelists. Perhaps contained in this disdain was a fatalistic attitude that no amount of description of human goings-on would avail us -- that only poetry has anything of value to offer. As I have a character in my upcoming book say against Dickens, "His novels are all just vulture sites."

The alum works of the Yorkshire coast is the birthplace of the British chemical industry. It came about when Henry VIII broke with the Catholic church and the Pope, who owned all the alum workings in Europe, banned the export of alum to the UK. Attempts were made in various parts of England to produce alum. All failed as the ricks were wring. In Yorkshire Thomas Chaloner notice that rock on his lands were similar to those of the Tolfa Hills, where the Pope had his alum workings. Chaloner persuaded a couple of the Pope's alum workers to abscond to England and bring with them the secret of converting shale to alum. To make 1 ton of alum you needed 12 tons of shale and yo get that you need to remove 36 tons of other rock. The shale is burnt and then the ashes mixed with urine from Tyneside, Wearside and along the Yorkshire coast. To know when to collect the pure alum you put an egg into the liquid as it was heated. When the egg floated, it was time to collect the alum.

Trains reversing into/out of Scarborough station needed either a pilot locomotive or were limited to 2 coaches with a brake compartment leading. The original plan for line did not have connections with Scarborough and Whitby stations. The railway had it's own stations.

Even the LNER found the 4 lines leading into Whitby a financial drain and wouldn't spend money on the line to reduce delays on summer Saturdays were many trains had to make double stops at stations on the coast line on both sides of Whitby. They planned at the work needed and the coatings but realised that the revenue from the line wouldn't justify the spending unlike the improvements they were looking at in the same periiod at Marske and Redcar. The coast route north of Whitby didn't even survive until the Beeching era.
