Z50_0011 - 199 Steps at Whitby - a photo on Flickriver

            The bottom of the 199 Steps up to Whitby Abbey, and the Donkey Road to the side. This is the very steep cobbled street which runs alongside the more famous 199 Whitby Steps up to the Church of St. Mary, and the Abbey. So called, because the beach donkeys would have to negotiate this incline twice a day on their way to and from the beach.  In January 1881 the Whitby lifeboat was hauled up here, and transported (using horses) for 6 miles over the moors  to Robin Hood's Bay to effect the rescue of 8 sailors aboard the Whitby brig, the 'Visitor'
In more recent times the Donkey Road has been cycled up several times (1:1 - 50% incline)
(I had to wait patiently for this shot)
