Whitby is a seaside town and port in the Borough of Scarborough and in the county of North Yorkshire. It is situated on the east coast of Yorkshire at the mouth of the River Esk and has an established maritime, mineral and tourist heritage.

This is a view from Whitby's West Pier Extension, looking across the entrance to the outer harbour, and over to the East Cliff where the ruins of Whitby Abbey are perched, alongside the Anglican parish church of St Mary's. Whitby West Pier Lighthouse (in the centre of the frame) was built in 1831 and is an 83ft high column tower, with a lantern on top. It was replaced by the new Whitby West Pier Light in 1914 (not in shot). Today the lighthouse still displays a green light (only when a boat is expected) to show it is safe to enter the harbour. Whitby East Pier Light is also a column tower with a lantern on top and appears to the left of the frame. It is 55ft high and was built in 1854 but replaced by the new Whitby East Pier Light in 1914. The outer piers at Whitby (beyond the lighthouses) are known as the pier extensions. They were built between the years of 1908 and 1914 and stand pretty much as built, right up to the present day.
