Celebrations for Hawsker Honesty Box Snack Stop

An honesty box tuck shop on the Scarborough to Whitby Cinder Track is celebrating it's third birthday.

Jo's Tuck Shop at Hawsker has become a favourite stop with walkers.

Jo says what started out as a fun idea, has helped raise some money for charity and introduced her to some great people.

The snack stop at Hawsker operates on an honesty box basis where walkers and cyclists pay for what they take from the tuck shop.

Jo set it up three years ago as a community service and says it's been well used.

The tuck shop has become something of an attraction in it's own right on the Cinder track, it often features in people's reviews of the local area and was mentioned in an article in the Guardian newspaper about the Whitby area.

This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.

A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
