Description

Scarborough has a rich history dating back to AD 966 when it was established by Norsemen. The town and its castle changed hands seven times during the English Civil War, enduring two lengthy sieges. Following the war, much of the town lay in ruins. However, in the seventeenth century, the discovery of acidic water led to the development of Scarborough Spa, attracting visitors from London. The arrival of the Scarborough-York railway in 1845 further increased tourism, and the construction of hotels such as the Crown and Grand Hotel soon followed. This collection of images showcases Scarborough's history, from its Victorian heyday as a major spa resort to its continued popularity as a domestic holiday destination. A fascinating look at Scarborough's past, this book provides something for everyone, whether you're a long-time resident or just visiting.
