holiday booked for next year
We're just back from the Whitby Folk Week (on the coast of Yorkshire
in England). We have just booked our accommodation for next year (it's scarce, you have to get in early). Try this on Google Maps: search for "YO2 1RB Whitby". Go into Street View. That will probably give you a picture of a big church. Move uphill. The round bit stuck on the corner of the church, with windows leaded in tiny squares, has been converted into a house and that's where we'll be staying. Now rotate the view to look across the street. Notice anything? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |

I couldn't find it either. I found a couple of streets, but I didn't see
the big church.

I know Whitby pretty well - was at boarding school there. Its post code
is YO21 so Google maps didn't recognise the one you gave. I guessed it was St Mary's, but the street map with the little yellow man finishes just short of there, and I couldn't see any bit of that that looked as though it had been converted to accommodation like you described. I looked at the other churches in the town, but still couldn't see anything that looked right. So not sure if you were opposite a quilt shop or the rather spectacular building opposite St. Mary's. When we visited it we had to climb the 199 steps! My old school is no longer a school but is now a Conference Centre but they do do bed and breakfasts (and full and half board). We had a reunion there a couple of years ago. Sneaton Castle Centre Ltd, Whitby, YO21 3QN North Yorkshire. They have all levels of accommodation from en suite to standard family rooms. If accommodation of scare when you go, this is probably an option for someone who isn't as far-seeing as you, and they do group bookings! Not central but we used to have to walk into town.

Maybe Google Maps behaves differently depending what country you're looking from. I don't know how to get a URL in Google Maps that tells the reader exactly which camera view I mean. The point was we are going to be directly across the street from Judith's Fabrics, which is a very good LQS. In the Google picture there's a whole lot of fabric displayed outside (as usual in good weather). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |

Solved the problem - the Postcode is YO21 1RB. You had put '1' instead
of '21'.=, which threw Google completely. If you Google Map: Abbey Lane, Westerdale, North Yorkshire YO22 4, UK you get some wonderful pictures of the Abbey which is on the other cliff over the river. Whitby is, of course, Dracula country too!
