{- per boarshill on HEIRtagger: "Suggest viewing this upstream photo in conjunction with 51434 Whitby - taken from the opposite bank facing towards the sea. Looking from Whitby west side SE towards the east side. (Camera *may* be on the road called "Khyber Pass" - a dating indication .... ? ) (1) The bridge in the photo is not the current one, which was constructed 1908/9. (2) I am intrigued by the pale pieces of some sort of material laid out on the beach at the left. Not a clean beach, so unlikely to be washing? Sails/sailmending? Some sort of fulling process? Local history knowledge might help here." -}

per email from boarshill: "This photo was taken before the old Whitby swing Bridge (1835-1908, designed by Francis Pickernell) was replaced by the 1908 swing bridge (which is wider, and allows bigger ships to pass).
The camera is near the mouth of the harbour looking inland over the Lower Harbour towards Whitby Bridge.
The harbour beyond the bridge is called the Upper Harbour.
The short pier opposite was called the Fish Pier, and the sands on which what look like sails are spread are called Tate Sands."

which "...shows sail lofts on the far bank, behind Tate Sands, which may have provided the sails we see here."
