Books by Malcolm Barker

Editor of the Yorkshire Evening Post for seventeen years and a Yorkshire Post Saturday columnist for eleven years, Malcolm Barker grew up in Whitby in the 1930s and 1940s at a time when his father succeeded his grandfather as editor of that most individual of weekly newspapers, the Whitby Gazette. It gave him remarkable knowledge and a fondness for the town that shines through every chapter in this book. It also inspired him to spend a lifetime collecting the evocative photographs that profusely illustrate its pages.
