More Whitby Memories

From another site:

Scoresby became Vicar of Bradford -- where his parishioners included the Reverend Patrick Brontë of Haworth village, and his young daughters -- wow, wow, wow; "Scoresby turned his scientific attention to the mysterious forces of mesmerism; instead of dealing in oil and whalebone, Whitby now traded in jewellery carved from the shiny black jet found it its cliffs and made mournfully fashionable by a perennially grieving queen."

I still remember -- vividly -- the black jet small cross that I bought in Whitby for our older daughter.
