Whitby ~ North Yorkshire

Whitby ~ North Yorkshire
Back to Whitby today, where there are many jewellers selling Whitby Jet jewellery. Jet is a semi-precious gemstone made from decaying wood under extreme pressure. It's a type of coal-substance that washes up on the beaches of Whitby and also found in the North York Moors that's approximately 182 million years. Jet has also been found in Kimmeridge shale seams in Dorset.

The giant herring suspended above the shop is an installation on the heritage trail by Whitby artist Emma Stothard.

Denis Croissant, Istvan Farkas, Marco F. Delminho, Erhard Bernstein and 30 other people have particularly liked this photo

It's a pity that the giant herring is not real, otherwise it would certainly have the quality of a stockfish now... ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Lovely perspective on this street scene by the bottom of the church steps Rosa. A place I try to avoid, not always successfully! The W. Hamond shop is one of Pat's favourites in Whitby and my wallet is always a lot lighter if I, we fail to avoid going in.;-))

Have a good day, Doug

Thank you Doug. It was very busy there, even on a Sunday. There was some beautiful jet jewellery in the shop. I can see why your wife likes it!

Happy Tuesday,

Thank you for your kind comments Günter. This was the beginning of the climb to the church and abbey. I noticed the fish on my way back down. A lot to see in this town...I would like to return there sometime.

A fascinating street scene Rosa..............this is just the sort of place my wife would love. It's nice to see so many people out and about. I bet the shops need the business as well.

I especially like the giant herring and the glass buoy hanging above the shop door.........it's very impressive. A lovely capture.

There were some beautiful pieces of jewellery in there Keith. I only ever wear a watch, so no point me buying any, but I could admire it. Thank you for your kind comments.

Oh, I'd like a fish necklace made of Whitby Jet jewellery for Christmas. And I'd like that dog, too!
And after looking at all that, let's go to the Tea Rooms, Rosa. Cheers! :-)

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Edna Edenkoben club

Yes, the tea rooms is a good choice Edna :)

I don't know the North Sea coast at all between Great Yarmouth and Aberdeen!! My loss I know, especially the Yorkshire stretch. A super shot and all the better for it not being your traditional Whitby touristy photo!

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Andy Rodker club
It wasn't familiar to me either Andy. The coast and countryside of North Yorkshire is very beautiful. I was lucky to have great weather for the five days I was there. I hope I will be able to visit the area again. I have been to York and the beautiful Dales before and they are well worth another visit.
I hope you are keeping well in Cornwall.
