Whitby Goth Weekend is a bi annual Goth meet up, in the seaside town of Whitby in Yorkshire North England. Whitby is also the inspirational spark that lit the flames of writer Bram Stoker, to create the story of Dracula. Base on this Gothic heritage, along with Whitby Jet the Victorians were obsessed with, the WGW has became a global pilgrimage for many to celebrate Gothic style in a fashion context. That is Goth in its widest context incorporating, all its genres and sub cultures, including Steampunk. Images show people dressing up and posing for a photo, as they promenade around the towns cobbled streets. Many people make and create their own costumes, especially the steampunk looks where their items have working functionality.
