Congestion On The Steps, Whitby
A congested scene at the bottom of the famous 199 Steps in Whitby, North Yorkshire, England. The steps lead from Church Street at the bottom to St Mary's Church and Whitby Abbey, which are both situated high on the East Cliff. The 199 Steps attract visitors from all over the World, so scenes like this with lots of people walking up or down, are quite common. Alongside this landmark is a very steep footpath called Caedmon's Trod which is an alternative to the steps, but that appears to be much less appealing.

Old Capstan, Whitby East Pier
Located near to the disused lighthouse, this is one of two old capstans on the East Pier at Whitby in North Yorkshire, England. The wooden capstan would rotate on a vertical axis and when in use, it would have levers or bars inserted into the holes near the top. It would then be rotated clockwise by four men pushing on the levers; this would wind a hauling rope, cable or hawser around the drum. A simple ratchet system at the bottom of the drum held the tension and prevented run-back. Sailing ships that were battling against rough seas could be hauled into the harbour using one or more capstans.
