Whitby Harbour.
Whitby, North Yorkshire.

Whitby is famous for the best fish and chips in the world, and many restaurants across the UK use Whitby Cod and Haddock. On the front you can see Trenchers, one of the town's best purveyors of Whitby fish. To the right of this you can look across to the town's East Cliff and St. Mary's Church. Whitby's Swing Bridge is just hidden from view behind the crows of tourist on the harbour front. The large post is a crow's nest monument to Whitby's port heritage. To the immediate right of this you can just make out Whitby Abbey managed today by English Heritage. To the left of the station is the Co-op supermarket and the large pavilion to the left of this is the town's Tourist Information Centre.

From this point above the harbour you can see St. Mary's Church and Whitby Abbey on the East side with the 199 steps rising up from Church Street below. Captain Cook's statue stands guard over the town and just to his left the Whale Bone arch. In the opposite direction, the cliffs at Sandsend and to the left you can just see the top of the Spa Theatre nestled on the edge of the cliff.

Shipley Junction, Bradford Canal.
Shipley, West Yorkshire.

Shipley Junction was once the meeting point of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal with the Bradford Canal. The 3 1/2 mile canal drew water from Bradford Beck, itself very heavily polluted by the woollen and dye industry that grew up in the town during the industrial revolution. Locally the canal became known as the River Stink, and along with competition from the Railways lead to its eventual closure and subsequent infill in 1923.

Castle Hill, Kirklees.
Huddersfield, West Yorkshire

Castle Hill is home to the Jubilee Tower, built at the end of the 19th Century to commemorate Queen Victoria's reign. The BBC has it's own panorama on the net, but this one has been taken all around the base of the tower giving a 360 degree view of the whole hillside.

Village Show, Lealholm.
Whitby, North Yorkshire.

The village of Lealholm sits at a crossing point on the River Esk in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. The Lealholm Farm Produce and Horticultural Society annual show is held on the first Saturday in September.This panorama is from the 4th September 2004 and shows the preparation before opening - Judging is taking place in the marquees, so there is a brief period of calm whilst the stall holders have their lunch and the stewards rush around doing last minute jobs before opening. Steam engine displays are setting up in one corner, whilst at the other end of the pitch there is a bouncy castle and chip pan fire demonstration by the Fire Brigade. Lealholm Show is well noted for it's annual Duck Race on the River Esk where up to 1000 numbered toy ducks race to a finish line down stream.
