Just listening to some tunes by Vin Garbutt while I work. One of which is The Beggar's Bridge about Tom Ferris who built a bridge over the Esk river in 1619 after making his fortune in the Elizabethan navy. Of course the bridge is still there in Glaisdale, after all after only 400 years why wouldn't it be!

I suppose in my mind the Esk's other claim to fame is that it reaches the North Sea at Whitby, where Dracula landed abord the Demeter. Here are some very nice pictures of Whitby, or as the title says Dracula's Whitby (dramatic music). One day I'll have to visit.
