Subject: Missing and defaced street nameplates

At the end of May I was in Whitby checking the yards prior to
reprinting my Yards of Whitby map. I found many of the yards
missing nameplates or with defaced nameplates. Here is the complete
list for 31st May 2007.

 26/27  steps with no plate, this could be Laverick's Steps
 27/29  nameplate 'Laverick Steps', this could be incorrect

The long flight of steps between 26/27 has no nameplate, but it would be
logical for it to be named Something Steps. The small yard between 27/29
has a nameplate 'Laverick Steps', which seems unlikely for a small yard,
even though it has a small flight of steps at the entrance. It seems
likely that the 'Laverick Steps' nameplate has been mounted at the wrong
location. 27 is Pear Tree House (1899), so 27/29 could well be Pear Tree
Yard or similar.
