    Hi again Tony.
    
    Yet another reference to Wilkinson
    
    Young
    Page577
    
    "The manufacture of leather was once carried on here to a
    considerable extent. At present there are only two tan-yards, that
    of Mr Galilee, in the lane anciently called Baldby lane; and that of
    Messrs. Frankland & Wilkinson, at Boghall"
    
    Fascinating stuff isn't it? All these little clues can be the
    source of so much information. I love it!
    
    I think there's more on the `Stonehouse' family if your
    interested in hearing about it?
    
    Regards,

    Hi Tony
    
    Look at Young's footnote you will see John Wilkinson was one of the
    Trustee's appointed to collect and disperse these duties!
    
    I hope that this is of interest to you

    "1702; When, in consideration of the utility of this port, as a place
    of refuge for colliers and other costing vessels, the parliament
    passed an act, imposing duty of one farthing per chaldron on all
    coals shipped to Newcastle or it's dependencies, Sunderland, &c.
    (except those shipped to Yarmouth vessels), towards repairing and
    rebuilding the piers at Whitby; and also granting the following
    duties payable to Whitby, towards the same object; viz. On every
    chaldron of coals landed at Whitby, 6d; on every weigh of salt, 2s
    etc, etc… Trustees were appointed to receive and disburse the
    money* and were empowered to mortgage the duties, and borrow money on
    them at 6 per cent. Interest. The act also prohibited, under the
    penalty not exceeding 40s., the throwing of ballast rubbish, &c. into
    the harbour. This act was to remain in force only nine years, as it
    was hoped that within that time a sufficient fund would accumulate
    for maintaining the piers and harbour; but when it was found in 1709,
    that instead of any such accumulation, the duties were considerably
    mortgages, a new act was obtained a third act was passed, rendering
    all duties perpetual, except that of one farthing on each chalder of
    coals shipped at Newcastle; but the funds being found inadequate to
    the work, this act was renewed for 31 years by another act passed in
    1734; and in 1749" etc, etc..
