These are the steps that the 'Black Dog' (in Bram stoker's novel Dracula) ran up after the ship 'Demeter' ran aground near the harbour entrance.

This is the Church and Graveyard where the 'black dog' (dracula) disappeared into.

Whitby Abbey, behind the Church, a lot of gravestones are unreadable due to weathering over the years.

A great set of a beautiful old city. It is a shame that the Abbey had been damaged. Mahalo for sharing.

What beautiful pictures and a great story to go along with it. I love the tombstones and the church. I can’t help but wonder if Dracula ever left the church and became Christopher Lee.
Well done,
Dennis

Excellent set Doddy,Whitby is one of my favourite places to visit.
Yes Jim, it is a lovely place to visit, every Cafe/pub and restaurant was doing a roaring trade, and as usual, the famous "Magpie" Cafe had a queue outside. Thanks for looking.

Not quite a city JoAnne, over here to qualify for city status you have to have a Cathedral. Its worth googling "Whitby Abbey". Thanks for looking.
