NOTES: The lighthouse is also known as the Van Speyk Monument. The main tower of the monument was completed in 1834 and the mausoleum-like structure at the foot of the tower was added between 1838 and 1840.
NOTES: This is one of two lighthouses at the entrance to Whitby Harbour, designed by Francis Pickernell, who was the engineer to Whitby Harbour from 1822-1861.
NOTES: Both Ivy de Wolfe and Ivor de Wolfe took photographs, although the majority were taken by Ivy. As this photograph is signed I de Wolfe, it is uncertain which of the two was responsible.
