Whitby Museum HD

Exploring Whitby Museum – This ranks as one of the top museums I have visited. The eclectic range of exhibits are all genuine and well presented. This film captures the atmosphere of the museum and shows a micro - sample of the 83,000 or more exhibits. The museum is located in Pannett Park.

Whitby Military Museum Visit

In January, 2010, Josh and Jordan (as part of Josh's Beavers troop), visited the Whitby Military Museum. Unfortunately, the curator was speaking a little above their heads, and I am not sure how much they really learned.

Whitby

Whitby is a seaside town, port and civil parish in the Borough of Scarborough and English county of North Yorkshire. Prior to local government reorganisations in the late 1960s, it was part of the North Riding of Yorkshire. Situated on the east coast of Yorkshire at the mouth of the River Esk, Whitby has an established maritime, mineral and tourist heritage. Its East Cliff is home to the ruins of Whitby Abbey, where Caedmon, the earliest recognised English poet, lived. The fishing port developed during the Middle Ages, supporting important herring and whaling fleets, and was (along with the nearby fishing village of Staithes) where Captain Cook learned seamanship.
