  • St_Hildas_Roman_Catholic_Church.pdf, Station Square – awarded.pdf to Father Neil on 8th October 2008 by Mike Dawson, president of Whitby Civic Society. “Whitby Civic Society aims to preserve and enhance Whitby’s rich heritage and ensure that all proposals for its development respect the town’s unique character. In view of this the Society wishes to congratulate St Hilda’s Roman Catholic Church for the aesthetic manner in which the side entrance to the Church has been adapted to provide access for people with mobility difficulties, pushchairs, prams etc. and also improving manoeuvrability for funerals. The Society also thinks that the new handrails on the steps at the front entrance are a useful asset for both ascending and descending, especially in wet conditions, and for wedding groups etc. Whereas improving accessibility and alterations to steps and doorways often detracts from the historic appearance of buildings, the Whitby Civic Society feels that these additions to St Hilda’s have been achieved sympathetically and blend into the fabric of the Church without spoiling the general appearance.

  • Maple_House,_No_8_Silver_St.pdf – awarded.pdf to the owner, Lanny Brittle, in June 2006 by Barry Atkinson, chairman of Whitby Civic Society. ”Maple House, a listed building, was built in about 1750. It was a snooker hall in 1905 and was used by the Conservative and other parties for a meeting room. It has been totally restored and some wonderful original features have been found. A 30ft well with clear water is in a courtyard at the rear of the house, complete with the original Yorkshire flag stones. In 1803 it belonged to the Broderick family and the present lady of the house, Lanny Brittle would like to know its original name. The sitting room has been restored by removing all signs of old paint and has been painted in light grey with all the panels in place and the coving remoulded and painted white. The whole of the front of the house has been lovingly restored and the stone steps are now in place as are the new iron railings. The owner has been made aware of our meetings and may well come to them in the future.”
  • Ammonite_House,_Church_St.pdf (was Alessi’s Italian Restaurant) - The Certificate of Excellence was awarded.pdf on 24th January 2005 by Mike Dawson, president of Whitby Civic Society. “The story of Ammonite House is an interesting one. The independent Society of Primitive Methodists was established by a group of breakaway Wesleyans in 1812, and a congregation first met in Whitby. A Sunday School was established by 1835; the chapel was rebuilt and enlarged in 1841, and was in turn replaced in 1903 by the building we know as Ammonite House. The foundation stone was laid on 1st October 1902. On 22nd July 1903, when the door was formerly opened by Miss Louisa Hemmingway, the Whitby Gazette said of the building “It has a noble standing and is undoubtedly a great adornment to the locality in which it is situated”. The present building, now modernised to a high standard, still retains these qualities. The WCS sent them a Letter_of_information_of_award.pdf which was in both English & Italian.
