Shops

Vampalicious on-line is described as "a vintage clothing, books and comic shop featuring a mixed selection of unique styles, it's a bit Glam-Goth, Burlesque, Horror, Femme Fatale, Vintage, Steampunk, and Rock n Roll."

Whitby Jet Jewellery (Simpson's of Whitby) make a variety of jewellery in Whitby Jet and Silver. They are, of course, based in Whitby - you can visit their shop - and they source their jet locally.

Black As Jet Jewellery is another on-line jewellery site which specializes in jet as well as amber. They source much of their jet from Whitby although they are based in East Sussex.

The Victorian Jet Works in Whitby is an 1897 jet works - a museum still a working craft shop.

And this is a little treat: "Edward Gorey's Dracula Toy Theatre"
