SCARBOROUGH - THE TOWN, THE HARBOUR AND THE RAILWAY

Let's first of all take a look at the resort of Scarborough. Here's the castle, harbour and beach in 2014.

 

An old view of Foreshore Road, when trams were still running.

A postcard view of the harbour.

Some commercial traffic still uses Scarborough harbour.

A general view of the harbour in 2014.

The harbour entrance, again, 2014.

The famous Grand Hotel, seen from the harbour.

Now we head to the South Bay and the beach.

The South Cliff and its lift, with a bridge over the Valley Gardens.

Here are the Valley Gardens.

The Italian Gardens, South Cliff.

The cliff lift, shown above, is now defunct.

The Central Cliff Lift is still operational.

Now, to the railway station. North Eastern Railway class 213 2-4-0 steam locomotive no 216 in the platform, 1880.

A NER petrol-electric car sits under the overall roof.

LNER, ex GCR, 5458 is turned at Scarborough in 1939.

Some reminders of the NER were still in situ in 1966.

Scarborough sees frequent steam railtours. LMS 5031 has charge of a Santa Special in December 1981.

20010 & 20132 with an excursion.

A two car 'Pacer' forms a Hull service in 1995.

Services to York and beyond are in the hands of First Trans Pennine Express.

We can't have a "dry" page, so here's one of Scarborough's lost pubs, the Hole in the Wall. 

Next time we'll look at the town's trams and buses, then the many pubs. See you soon.
