Description
Step back in time to Whitby's 'Yards', a hidden world unchanged since the Middle Ages. Explore the narrow alleyways and ghauts that reveal the secrets of this small seaport, now largely unspoiled by tourism. Over eighty named yards still exist today, alongside thirty or so similar places, each with its own unique character. This affectionate account is lavishly illustrated and offers a fresh perspective on Whitby's fascinating past. Join Alan Whitworth as he explores the origins of the yards and shares his knowledge of this hidden world. Hardly changed over the centuries, Whitby's 'Yards' remain a treasure trove of history and character.
