Whitby - The Town of Steps
Whitby Is a Town of Impressive Buildings With Many Steps

While walking through Whitby I noticed a remarkable number of houses have front doors approached by very long flights of usually stone steps, and most of them are very impressive but hardly practical in many ways.
I assume these houses can be approached from the rear for deliveries and post and everyday access.
Then of course we have the 199 steps to Whitby Abbey that you can read about here.
I was thinking of writing a story about it, but then thought 600 words on there being a lot of steps in Whitby, so I will share some pictures and a poem, a chain haiku. Below is my article on poetry forms.
