EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Marjory L Wight takes us on a visual journey to the picturesque town of Whitby in Scarborough, North Yorkshire. From the vantage point of West Cliff, we are treated to a breathtaking view that encapsulates the essence of this charming coastal destination. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly Whitby Abbey and St Marys Church, perched majestically atop the cliff. These architectural marvels stand as testaments to centuries past, with their origins rooted in early medieval times. The abbey's imposing presence against the backdrop of a clear blue sky evokes a sense of awe and wonder. As our gaze travels downward from these ancient structures, we are greeted by rows of quaint houses lining Henrietta Street. Each dwelling seems to tell its own story, whispering tales from medieval times when life unfolded within their walls. The coastal allure is undeniable as we glimpse glimpses of shoreline stretching out into infinity. The crashing waves against rugged cliffs create an atmosphere both serene and invigorating – a reminder that nature's beauty can be found even amidst human settlements. Marjory L Wight has masterfully captured this scenic landscape frozen in time during the 1930s. Through her lens, she invites us to immerse ourselves in history and appreciate the timeless charm that still resonates throughout Whitby today.
