About this product
Product Information
Whitby is well known today as a seaside resort and a picturesque place to visit, with its piers, boats, fine sands and, overlooking its tangle of red-roofed houses, the ruins of its Abbey in one of the most splendid settings in Britain for such romantic remains. But few of its many visitors would guess the long history of the town or its significance, from time to time, in national affairs. Its fine natural harbour, one of the few on the east coast, gave it early importance as a place of refuge and a fishing port. The Middle Ages saw quiet growth but the 17th century brought great prosperity, with shipbuilding on a scale out of all proportion to its size. Long isolated, except by sea, Whitby developed a very distinctive set of traditions and folklore. Not until a horse-drawn railway was built in the 1830s did Whitby's inland communications improve, bringing visitors for whom hotels and boarding houses were built on the west cliff. Largely derived from its unusual past, the town's unique character draws thousands of visitors each year; and the first edition of this book, in 1993, was as much welcomed by them as by the locals. The only comprehensive history of Whitby, it rapidly sold out and Dr White, its author, of ancient Whitby stock, has now fully revised and updated his book, with some new illustrations and interpretations. This new edition will continue as the definitive work on Whitby. AUTHOR: Andrew White spent thirty-one years working in museums and archaeology. He studied for a BA and MA in Classics at Lancaster University and a PhD. in Archaeology at Nottingham University. A Fellow of the Museums Association and of the Society of Antiquaries of London, he is now retired, with three grown-up children. He currently works for the Heritage Lottery Fund as NW regional chairman and is an Honorary Research Fellow of Lancaster University, as well as pursuing a freelance career as a writer, broadcaster and lecturer. Andrew White's ancestors have lived in Whitby since at least the seventeenth century, mostly as mariners, which probably accounts for his lifelong affection for the town and his fascination with its rich history. 100 b/w illustrations

Always happy with the Nile's service. Whilst dispatch can take longer than others, books are sourced at a great price from locations worldwide and from prior experience I know to order in advance. I ordered three expensive textbooks for uni, two weeks later they were dispatched and the next day received - all earlier than expected timeframe. Packaged very well, books intact. Great seller, updated tracking and items as described. A+++
