A nostalgic look at Whitby’s past: This week’s photos include Whitby Regatta events the raft race, fun run and children’s fancy dress winners, welly throwing at Sleights Show, Whitby Community College GCSE results, the opening of the new play area at Pannett Park, and the Littlebeck Rose Queen. All photos were taken in August 2009. See if you can spot any familiar faces.
