The wonder of Whitby is celebrated in these fabulous photos of the seaside town during the 1990s. The coastal gem's tourist attractions are all featured in this collection plucked from the YEP archive. They include the town's Abbey and Harbour through to the Magpie Cafe and the famous steps. It was also a decade which saw the town welcome home a replica of Captain Cook's ship HMS Endeavour not once but twice in the same year and the Whitby Town win a trophy at Wembley.

The driver of this lorry managed to stop his vehicle by steering it into a tree as he approached Sleights near Whitby down Blue Bank in April 1999. He escaped with a cut finger as the load of hardcore, intended for roadworks in the village just yards further on, partially slipped from the wagon and spilled out onto land on the road side. | Mike Cowling Photo: Mike Cowling
