Extract from Heavisides Almanack 1910; readers of the present day can scarcely have forgot Whitby the cabman. Said to come from that port, he was employed by various cab proprietors in this town, first with one and then the other. He was sort of Handy-Andy and one, who if possible to make a mistake or blunder he could do it, and often very amusing ones too. To recapitulate the apparently ridiculous actions for this individual would fill a good sized volume, as his life seemed wholly or nearly so, made up of mischief and nonsense.
