Whitby is a picturesque town on the northeast coast of England, in the county of Yorkshire. The town is a popular tourist destination, thanks to its stunning location on the North Sea, as well as its interesting history and architecture. Whitby Abbey, a ruined monastery overlooking the town, is a major tourist attraction, as is the Whitby Museum, which contains exhibits on the town's maritime history. There are also a number of art galleries and shops in Whitby, as well as a busy port and a number of excellent pubs and restaurants.

The Esk has been crossed at this point since at least 1351 when Edward III granted authority to collect tolls to maintain the bridge. The current swing bridge was built in 1908. It links the upper and lower harbour areas and the east and west sides of the town. The bridge opens on the hour and half hour on request and is manned for two hours either side of high water. It is for pedestrians and vehicles
