Last Trip to Whitby Museum, 1977

Whitby Museum revisited after 48 years.....Last visit in 1977, when doing the Cleveland Way with Mum, Dad, Nick and Matt. I remembered seeing these tattooed heads, which were repatriated to the Maori and New Zealand in 1998.........a gruesome trade in these heads was started by Captain Cook's botanist, who apparently took one home to England and started a craze. My 11 year old self was fascinated, but didn't grasp they were someone's relatives....
