[Leica] Holiday snaps 2 - People on the streets of Whitby

[douglas.sharp at gmx.de (Douglas Sharp)]

To make it more complicated - I shot this while standing on the western 
side of the Khyber Pass.
Must be some historical/commemorative reason for the naming. Probably 
very Boering ;-) I must look into it.

What I do know is that the Khyber Pass in Whitby was blasted out of the 
cliffs in the name of George Hudson "The Railway King" to allow the 
guests of his "Royal Hotel" to travel down to the beach in their 
carriages (that was shortly before he left the country being chased by 
the people he owed millions to - this is also why "The Royal Crescent" 
was only half finished) He came back later and became MP and Mayor of 
Whitby.
Cheers and thanks for taking a look
