Pannett Park exists thanks to the generosity of Robert Elliott Pannett. The Whitby solicitor spent his life in local government and in service to the townsfolk of Whitby. He spent 22 years as Clerk to the District Local Board and then became a County Councillor and later Alderman. The Pannett Art Gallery and Whitby Museum are both housed in the same building. The Friends of Pannett Park were formed in July 2005. It has 60 active members and works in partnership with Whitby Town Council and Scarborough Borough Council. The aim of the Friends of pannett Park is to restore the heritage features and to protect and improve the park for the benefit of all. The Floral Clock in Pannett Park was originally installed in 1953 to commemorate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II on June 2 nd 1953. The Whitby Museum houses many different collections, some of which are listed below:
Whitby Museum welcomes all members of the public and offers a range of services to School Parties and welcomes children who are well supervised and have a clear goal to achieve during their visit. School parties are welcomed and helped by Museum Volunteers as often as possible.
