Christmas memories from Whitby's history shared in new film from photographer's forgotten archive

John Tindale, a celebrated photographer and cultural champion for the coastal town, amassed a vast archive of images, books and audio recordings before his death in 2001.

His huge collection had remained undiscovered for some 30 years, but was this year turned into a series of films and a documentary, sharing tales of a lost way of life through the Whitby Museum.
