Flowergate in Whitby is one of the oldest and most historic streets in the town, although the majority of the tourists visiting would usually think that Church Street on the East side is one of the oldest streets but this is not Flower gate in Whitby strictly true. Flower gate in Whitby is In Doomsday Book, A.D. 1086, Fiore, and in 1222 Flower gate. The first opening on the seaward side was Silver Street. At the Further end of this street is Wellington Terrace, where at N0. 3 James Russell Lowell, poet and American Ambassador to London, was a regular visitor from 1880 to 1889. In one of his letters he writes: This is my ninth year at Whitby and the place loses none of its charm for me. In this street is the oldest Independent Chapel, opened in 1805, and used, till recently, as the Congregational Lecture Hall. Independency began in Whitby about 1770, with the secession of a Wesleyan parson, and the Rev. John Wesley, writing in his, journal under the date of May 16th, 1770, said of him: I earnestly desired our Society to leave him to God, and say nothing about him, good or bad Before reaching the top of Brunswick Street, notice on the right-hand slide a much worn horsing block standing on the kerb, its steps almost worn away by the generations of children who have climbed over it.
