The garden has been created on the site of the former Cliff Street girls' primary school, which opened in 1893 and closed in 1963, but I have not found reference to when it was demolished. Lewis Carroll, the author of the Alice stories, is known to have visited Whitby several times and some people have identified possible local inspiration for some of the scenes.
