Another shot from Crosby beach, the location of the Antony Gormley sculptures I posted a little while back. I just couldn't resist that sky...
“The town of Malton was visited often by Charles Dickens because of his long friendship with Charles Smithson, a solicitor in the town. The Smithson family had their offices on Chancery Lane in Malton and they also shared a practice in London.
"Some of the connections, although not written down, are so obvious they must be true. The novel A Christmas Carol wasn’t written at Malton, but the Smithson family were told by Dickens that the office in Chancery Lane was the model for Scrooge's Office and the 'Bells' were those of St Leonard's Church on Church Hill.
"I think Dickens was inspired to use the Smithson building as the model for Scrooge’s counting room, because it’s not a big office and would be a typical solicitor’s office of the day.
"It’s also thought Dickens got to know a Malton couple called Mr and Mrs Jump. They lived in a white house below a clump of beech trees on the north side of what is now Middlecave Road. Mrs Jump was apparently the model for Mrs MacStinger in Domeby and Son.
Last night you could feel the jetty moving in the wind and waves, making it pretty hard to take a steady shot. For this I put the camera on the railing and figured if the jetty moved the camera would move with it.
