Tractors on Whitby Pier in aid of cancer research

The 3 Coasts Tractor Tour, organised by former Great Ayton resident David Harrison, has been running since 1996 and has raised pounds 40,000 for various charities over the years. About 30 tractors are involved, all built from 1940 to the early 1970s. They travel from Liverpool to Whitby and back over six days and will be on High Green at 10.30am on Tuesday.

The tractors parked on Whitby pier, and then went down onto the sands at 5:30 PM to have some fun, do some wheelies and tear along the sea making waves. But it was all in a good cause and was great fun.

Funds will got to The Prostate Cancer Trust.

MICHAEL Portillo was in Whitby 8th June for TV series Great British Railway Journeys

alan — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 20:42:24 +0000

MICHAEL Portillo was in Whitby

MICHAEL Portillo was in Whitby on Tuesday filming for his latest television series.

Great British Railway Journeys is a documentary series in which he travels the length and breadth of the country by train.
Having already enjoyed a successful first series he was here to film the second which should be on our screens in the new year.
The former Conservative Party politician and cabinet minister is also a broadcaster and lifelong rail enthusiast.
Great British Rail Journey sees him follow in the footsteps of brilliant Victorian cartographer George Bradshaw.
Bradshaw created the world’s first book of railway timetables in 1839, making sense of the services offered by Britain’s 150 competing rail companies.
His yellow-bound guides were so common that to Victorians and Edwardians any timetable was known as “a Bradshaw.”
Mr Portillo told the Whitby Gazette: “We started out in Newcastle, and went on to Chester-le -Street, South Shields, Durham and Darlington before coming to Whitby.
“My first impressions of the town is that it is beautiful.
“I am staying in the same room that Bram Stoker stayed in at the Royal Hotel and am going to The Magpie for fish and chips.
“Bradshaw’s Guide praised the hotel highly and described Whitby as being hidden in the hollow and of one being able to see the ruins of the abbey as the train comes through the valley.”
Mr Portillo filmed and spoke to chairman of Whitby and District Tourism Association Harry Collett at Spion Kop at the Bram Stoker memorial bench.
“We are going to talk about Dracula and look into jet,” he added.
Harry Collett donned his ghiostwalker hat and cape and cane, perfect for a wet day in Whitby.
Mr Collett talked with Michael about Bradshaw’s connection with Dracula as author Bram Stoker made note of Count Dracula reading an English Bradshaw’s Guide. Stoker would travel by rail to the town and stay in Royal Crescent, when his room was being cleaned, he would check into the Royal Hotel in what was The Reading Room.
The TV series, which finishes in Melton Mowbray, is likely to be screened in January.
The first series is currently repeated on BBC2 at 6.30pm on Monday to Friday

Steam railway bridge 30 opens

New Bridge 30 Goathland opens

THE first passengers have travelled over the new Bridge 30 following a huge fund-raising appeal on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR).

Bridge 30 has carried the railway over Eller Beck, between Grosmont and Goathland, since 1864.

Time had taken its toll on the 145-year-old wrought iron structure at Darnholm, between the two villages.

It was replaced over the winter in the biggest civil engineering operation in the railway’s history at a cost of £650,000.

All passengers of that first train on Saturday, the S15 with the GW Directors saloon coach, received a souvenir certificate.

A spokesman said: “It was a rare opportunity to go over the new Bridge 30 on the first day of opening, view the fantastic feat of engineering at first hand and see how people’s donations helped to save the NYMR.”

Over 1,000 people turned out for the grand opening of Whitby’s Park

Grand opening of Whitby's Park

MORE than 1,000 people turned out to celebrate the grand opening of Whitby’s newly transformed Pannett Park.

There was a carnival atmosphere as locals and visitors flocked to the park to toast its £1.4m transformation, much of which was down to the work of volunteers the Friends of Pannett Park, whose 60 members clocked up more than 6,600 hours of gardening duties.
Town crier Andy Lowe opened the proceedings with Lord Normanby performing the ribbon-cutting ceremony to declare the park officially open.
People donned 1920s costumes to tie in with the history of the park, which was given to the people of the town by Robert Pannett in 1920.
A host of stalls, Whitby’s old lifeboat, a craft marquee, Punch and Judy and a storyteller kept everyone amused while Charleston dancers, classic cars, a craft marquee and a fairground organ entertained the throngs of visitors.
Improvements in the park have included restoring the lilly pool, a state of the art children’s play area, new paths and lighting and three new gardens.
Whitby’s mayor Terry Jennison, who gave a speech at the opening, said he was delighted at the park’s new look.
He said: “I can remember when the park was very rundown. It’s great now to see it has been restored.”
