Stories sought for interactive map history of RNLI
Whitby's lifeboat in the town's harbour

People have been asked to submit their stories of Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) landmarks as part of its 200th anniversary.
Historic England is seeking contributions for its Missing Pieces project, which helps tell the story of places listed on an interactive map.
RNLI landmarks in North Yorkshire include the Staithes and Runswick Lifeboat Station and 'The Fish' collection box at Whitby Lifeboat Station.
Many of the sites "have strong connections to the lifesaving charity and its history," a spokesperson said.
"We would love to see your photos, memories and information so we can learn more about what makes these places special," the spokesperson added.
"There could be traditions passed down the generations that keep local maritime history alive."
Both of the landmarks in North Yorkshire are Grade II listed.
The RNLI was founded on 4 March 1824 by Sir William Hillary.
Since then, the charity, made up largely of volunteers, has saved more than 144,000 lives.
Contributions about the history of each landmark can be made on the Historic England website.
