On a holiday in Whitby some time ago I came across this rather intriguing building.
Unfortunately it was difficult to get a decent picture without stepping backwards into moving traffic, something I was not inclined to do !
As you`ll see, the building has undergone a few changes of use, as you would expect.
According to a 2016 article in the Whitby Gazette, based on information provided by Whitby Civic Society, Arthur Sawdon used the building in connection with a carpets and bedding business, whereas Geo Thompson, who named the building Wellington House, ran two business - tuning/repairing keyboards on the one hand and acting as an auctioneer and valuer on the other.
When I was last in the area it was occupied by a firm of Solicitors.
If you ever feel the need to have your organ tuned by a Solicitor, this might be the place to go !
