I'm 91 yrs old, lived in Whitby from my birth in 1933. The early part of this fantastic animation transported me back to my childhood years up to 1948 when my family moved away. The level crossing and the cattle arch were a part of every day life. Shopping was "going down the port". I was delighted by the glimpse of the Pioneer office where the local newspaper was printed.and where I had a summer holiday job for pocket-money. Next door was The Queens Cinema, we kids called it the flea-pit - the Hippodrome cinema was our choice. Next door was The Majestic ballroom, and nearby the Carnegie lending library. The Rivacre Valley swimming pool was the centre of our summers. At one time, I could name all the shops from The Knot to Dock Street! I could go on ... Happy care-free days in spite of the air-raid sirens! Again, congratulations to the gifted team who produced this brilliant piece of work! I shall come back from time to time.

We as school kids had to go to the rivacre baths for swimming lessons, it was always freezing cold, one day it was 5 c but we still had to get in, the teacher was a Major Hunt, no guess for what he was called! on other days when finished and shaking like leaves we would get a bovril from the machine and burn our hands from shaking so much.

@joelsimkins1248 Месяц назад

It's crazy seeing how much the place I've lived in for all my nearly 18 years of living changed before I was even born. There's this odd sense of familiarity when I start seeing parts of the town I recognise that's been here for years.

Absolutely amazing. Many thanks to all those involved in bringing this to us. My husband was raised on Princes Road 1950-1970 and was thrilled to see this. His grandfather was born at #2 Porters Row. The Beatles appearance at Civic Hall brought out the story (again) of how he ended up chatting with them in the dressing rooms above/behind the stage.

Amazing! I've never really appreciated where I grew up very much at all, but this truly special piece of work sheds a whole new light on it. It's such a pity that the town centre has been neglected so much over the past few decades as I'm old enough to remember when it was somewhere where we'd do all our shopping. Very well done, and thank you so much for sharing this.

A brilliant production and very well done to all concerned. I was born in the 'Port in July 1954 on Pooltown Rd. and lived in the area including Great Sutton until emigrating to France in 2005. Lots of happy memories of living & working in the 'Port. Many thanks to all for your hard work. I went to Pooltown Junior School and we went to Rivacre Baths for swimming lessons. The water was always so damn cold that, by the time I got in, everyone else was getting out. I still can't swim! Cheers!

I think lessons should be taught on children's home towns, maybe our youth would have more love to show for their surroundings. It could be great again, we need some good people to lead the change.

@user-yv8gx5vk7j 2 месяца назад

Beautifully produced animation of the place I was born in and still live. However, it was saddening to see how many houses and places of historical interest, have been needlessly demolished to make way for expansion and so-called urban improvements. The demolition of The Boat House Tavern, in particular, was to my mind nothing less than an act of vandalism, by town planners, who clearly could not have cared less, about Elleereere Port's history and heritage. Quite shameful when you think about it!
