Haglathe House when it was the last house in the street. You can see the little window in the gable end which we have retained. This picture was reproduced as a postcard.
From Lionel Charltons book A history of Whitby, and of Whitby abbey before the conquest :
"From Church Street which terminates at the bottom of the 199 steps northward begins Haglathe. From a lathe, barn, or store house, which had been built there as a repository for such necessaries as were wanted in the winter season of the year by those inhabitants that had their residence below the hill; that place having long being known before the building of the lathe as Hag, on account of its low situation, whereby it is shaded from the sun for at least one half of the day."

Noble's Fish Smokehouse which was at the top of Henrietta Street which closed in around 2000.
David and Martha Wood started their married life in Kiln Yard then moved to a house at the top of Henrietta Street/Haggerlythe, where they ran a small fish business smoking herrings, boiling crabs and winkles which they had picked from the scaur. The second picture is of great gran Martha Wood nee Harland. Their fish business would later become Noble's which some of you may remember from when they traded on Church Street near the bottom of the 199 steps.

A painting by Frederick William Booty (1840-1924)
Booty's watercolour landscape pictures are still regularly featured in art auctions in Britain. Although originally based in Brighton, his later work is mainly of scenes from Yorkshire and Humberside, including Hull and the ports of Scarborough and Whitby. Harbour scenes were a popular subject with Booty. He also painted Yorkshire panoramas and the peacocks at Haddon Hall, Derbyshire.

Fabulous picture of Henrietta Street by Graystone Bird
Some of the finest photographic lantern slides from the late Victorian and early Edwardian period were produced by Graystone Bird who, unlike other professional photographers of the time, sold his images on glass, magic lantern, projection slides. It is probably for this reason that he is virtually unknown today.

Whitby Gazette 1858
ACCIDENT - On Monday afternoon last, a shocking accident, resulting from intemperance, occurred in Henrietta street. A woman, named Jane of ..., being in the garret of a house, four storeys high, and hearing a disturbance in the street, proceeded to the window for the purpose of seeing what was going on. Being in a state of intoxication at the time, she thrust her body so far through the window that she overbalanced herself and fell into the street - descending with tremendous violence upon a little girlm named Margaret Donkin, six years of age, who happened to be immediately below the window at the time. The child, when taken up, was found to be dreadfully injured, and Dr Taylerson being sent for, he ascertained that both her thighs were broken and that she had also received several severe bruises. It is hoped, however, that by the exercise of great care and attention, combined with medical skill, the life of the child may be saved. The woman, herself, had one or two ribs broken and was otherwise injured, and it is pretty clear that had she not fallen upon the unfortunate child she must have lost her life.
Poor little Margaret Donkin! Research uncovers that she lived from 1851 to 1924 and married a man called William Weatherill. She went on to have 11 children.
