Busy getting the programme ready for our forthcoming conference at Cober Hill Hotel and Conference Centre. Visited on a recce last month and saw Whitby at its best in spring sunshine. Hope it's as sunny in July. We will see the farms which we believe are those that Elizabeth Gaskell used as locations in Sylvia's Lovers, as well as other places featured in the novel. Here are two prints, one of Whitby, the other Scarborough, from the Geoffrey Sharps Collection - we may use one for the Conference programme.
