Description
Excerpt from Whitby: Past and Present
Victoria Square was then an enclosed paddock, and at the east end there were stepping stones on which you crossed the beck at low tide. Just before it reached the harbour some warehouses abutted on the beck. Under one end of them was a darkish passage through which you passed to the ship-yards, to be welcomed by a colony of rooks who tenanted some tall elms which ?ourished at the further end of it, and to be confronted by the Stocks which there awaited all evil-doers.
The site of the present railway station was Mr. Barry''s ship-yard, while his dock and that of Mr. Hobkirk lay beyond it.
