Thanks for clarifying the story of Dracula and Whitby; that Dracula was a fictional character in Bram Stokers’s novel and based on European myth and history. There may be truth in its real history but it is only fictional with regard to Whitby.

It was not built underground.

Very enjoyable video thank you from New Zealand

Just returned from a trip to Whitby, and this pops up on youtube, Spooky. Very busy for Halloween, plenty of Witches, Ghouls, Goths and even a family of Ghostbusters. Love the old- fashioned museum and its Cabinets of Curiosity. I hope they never modernise it.

Fair play Andrew,really good,informative & excellently presented

& also known as Aidensfield from Heartbeat

Ive got pics

I visited this aged 8 or 9 in the mid 1980s. Straight after disembarking on treasure island I found a food coin that wasn’t properly buried. We’d not been told we could start hunting though and the pirate in charge told me off and made me cry

I’m still way to scared to go into hut 5

Thanks for Yet another fantastic video. 🙏

Went there in September 2024 I loved the place such oldy worldy will go back again next time with my drone

stayed there two weeks ago £99 for two nights including evening meal and Breakfast, nice big room and very helpful staff

So happy I came across your channel . I love how natural And real your videos are. You are awesome!!

Like everything in Scarborough the council run everything down yet waste money on stupid giant plant pots in the town centre Scarborough council as always been a disgrace of corruption and backhanders just look at state of most properties around town

Hi mate. I’ve recently joined a group called pictures of Scarborough old and new. Would you please allow me to post your film on the South bay pool. Many thanks if you will. Bill Clifford.

Gutted when it closed, yet another of Scarborough's treasures gone for good and ironic as such pools are becoming popular again now. Delighted and somewhat surprised to see a photo I took featured at 06:58 and I remember being very sad at the time as it was getting pumped out. Thanks very much for yet another brilliant video, I loved watching it. What's your drone? the aerial footage is spot on.

The catholic church in Albi is the largest brick building in europe.

We love Whitby Museum!

BRILLTASTIC video. Thank You.

I used to come to Scarborough on holiday when I was little. Now I live here i absolutely love videos like yours. So many stories. Thank You for this video.

Most enjoyable and VERY well presented. I visited Scarborough on two occasions 1969 and 1971 for conferences in the Spa Ballroom. I'm sorry to say I wasn't aware of its fabulous history, although I did like Scarborough as a seaside town and have fond memories.

Excellent video, especially with the old photos and films of the running trains. Did this walk a few years ago and will be repeating it soon. A joy to watch and will check out the rest- just love this area.

Some reports say Hitler planned to use Nottingham Castle as his main UK residence and HQ.

Your videos are good Andrew, one tip try and reply to all comments even if just with a like, you will get more subscribers 👍🏻

When in Whitby. I was most amused by the sign on the door of St. Mary's telling visitors that Dracula doesn't exist😊

A really well produced, interesting and enjoyable series of videos. Thank you 👍

Started watching,turned off as soon as I saw a Ukraine flag being flown above the camp. It's beyond me why anyone in the UK would be flying a Ukraine flag?

You get the first ever tearful accolade from me on YT. Just lovely. The cinematography was stunning and just such a lovely story. It made me feel what we have lost in our childhoods. Forget mobile phones, forget social media , I feel a John Betjeman quote coming on… So well done. Thank you…

The stairs that you went down that area is thick with litter now

Those stairs where you went down that area is packed with litter now. I would send a picture if I could but I don't think I can

Really good interesting video, like you and others I’d love to see the lower floors, places like this should be looked after, perhaps via lottery funding. I have subscribed as I really enjoyed this video.

Halcyon days, family holidays at Scarborough in the early 1950's, the Hispaniola crew really put heart and soul into the trip and certainly looked the part and got us kids so excited digging in the sand on the island, getting the dreaded black spot stuck on the back of your hand. I note in comments plastic Dubloons, they were definitely metal in the early fifties. Combine the Hispaniola with the naval battle at Peasholm Park, half a day sat on the high wall round the railway station train spotting, great trips inland onto the moors and of course the sandy beach, what more could a boy ask for! In my book not a mobile or lap top that keeps them occupied nowadays.

Great video and music. A wonderful place to visit.

I love all of the music in this video… are they listed anywhere I cannot find them if so. Thanks for uploading this. I’m in Devon, a 6 hr drive from Whitby! Sadly. Will do it one day. Anything over two is a long drive unless you’re an American right 😅😂 EDIT (found music link, doesn’t work. I’ll ask Siri) 🎶

Wow, that's the first time I hear about that pool. I spent some time there in 1986 and again in 1987 to improve my english. So actually the pool was still open when I was there... what a pity I never went there. I surely would have if I had only known about it. All in all I got so many great memories of my stays in Scarborough. My first kiss actually happend there. And I spent way to much money on South Bay's entertainment locations, especially the ones with the gaming consoles like Double Dragon or Yie ar kungfu (somebody remembers that?).

A familiar face!!!

Took my kids just before it closed, was run down and not much there compared to when I was a kid

I remember watching Flipper the Dolphin perform in the 70s, and wasn’t there someone dressed as a gorilla that pretended to escape from its cage? I had many happy memories here.

Thanks, just watched all 3 videos back to back - lovely photos and drone footage plus blending in the old photos really made it interesting. One day I hope to visit the area.

Excellent! Great work!

Lovely musical interludes punctuate excellent informative documentary

Wow! Such great memories!!! It's so sad to see these amazing times gone. Poor Britain and British folk.

Wow, great vlog, i remember it well.

Excellent!

It's really interesting. Funnily enough, I travelled across the viaduct on a train from RHB. 1963/4 I also saw the last train pull out from RHB on its way to Whitby - sad!

Thats really handy

I went there in 1976, it was bloody good fun! I was 18!!!

Fabulous vlog. I would love to refurb this wonderful building. It is worth saving, worth restoring to former glories!

Andrew! I have just found your channel - superb. I love the content and delivery. I grew up in RHB, Whitby, and Kirbymoorside - now residing in Sweden 🇸🇪 I miss the North Riding.
