Episode Details

Whitby’s beloved whale bone arch, a coastal icon since 2002, is getting a lasting upgrade—its original bones, weathered by time, are being replaced with durable bronze replicas. After careful community consultation, officials chose bronze for its strength, longevity, and ability to develop a natural patina. The £70,000 project will see the old arch removed in September, with the new one installed early next year. The original bones won’t vanish—they’ll be preserved for research at York University and showcased at the Whitby Museum, ensuring their legacy lives on.
