Scarborough in North Yorkshire

Scarborough is a town on the North Sea coast of North Yorkshire, England. Historically part of the North Riding of Yorkshire, the town lies between 10–230 feet above sea level, from the harbour rising steeply north and west towards limestone cliffs. The older part of the town lies around the harbour and is protected by a rocky headland.

The town has fishing and service industries, including a growing digital and creative economy, as well as being a tourist destination. Residents of the town are known as Scarborians.

Scarborough’s Origins

The town was reportedly founded around 966 AD as Skarðaborg by Thorgils Skarthi, a Viking raider, though there is no archaeological evidence to support these claims, made during the 1960s, as part of a pageant of Scarborough events. The origin of this belief is a fragment of an Icelandic Saga. In the 4th century, there had briefly been a Roman signal station on Scarborough headland and there is evidence of much earlier Stone Age and Bronze Age settlements. However, any new settlement was soon burned to the ground by a rival band of Vikings under Tosti (Tostig Godwinson), Lord of Falsgrave, and Harald III of Norway. The destruction and massacre meant that very little remained to be recorded in the Domesday survey of 1085. The original inland village of Falsgrave was also Saxon rather than Viking.

During the 17th and 18th century doctors claimed bathing in seawater was good for health and wealthy people began to take trips to the seaside. To this day Scarborough is still known as a place for escapism and relaxation as it is still believed that being by the ocean can have a positive impact on your health.

The most striking feature of the town’s geography is the high rocky promontory pointing eastward into the North Sea. The promontory supports the 11th-century ruins of Scarborough Castle and divides the seafront into two bays, north and south.[6]
Scarborough’s South Bay from Sea Cliff Road

The South Bay was the site of the original medieval settlement and harbour, which form the old town. This remains the main tourist area, with a sandy beach, cafés, amusements, arcades, theatres and entertainment facilities. The modern commercial town centre has migrated 440 yards north-west of the harbour area and 100 feet above it and contains the transport hubs, main services, shopping and nightlife. The harbour has undergone major regeneration including the new Albert Strange Pontoons, a more pedestrian-friendly promenade, street lighting and seating.

Scarborough Arts

Scarborough arts community is known for many famous artists be it painters, writers, poets, actors or playwrights who have either lived, visited or were inspired by the town.

With such beautiful coastal views, Scarborough is the perfect place for budding artists to get creative, for example, John Atkinson Grimshaw was known for his landscape work and even rented a second home here as it became his favourite place to paint!

You may have also heard of the famous Bronte Sisters? Anne, Charlotte and Emily were all famous novelists and between them had bestsellers ‘The Tenant of Wildfell Hall’, ‘Jane Eyre’ and ‘Wuthering Heights. Anne Bronte in particular loved to visit Scarborough and became the place she came to rest in her final days, you’ll now find her gravestone in Scarborough’s St Mary’s Church. An exhibition was held at Scarborough’s Art Gallery and Woodend this year to celebrate the 200th anniversary of her birth.

Alan Ayckbourn is another famous name that you may also know, he lives in Scarborough and over the years has written more than 80 plays and is the Artistic Director of the Stephen Joseph Theatre where the majority of his work is showcased to this day! He has also won an Oliver and Tony Award and many of his plays have also been produced in London’s West End and New York.
