Scarborough has been popular since
Scarborough has been popular since the Iron Age - when the first fortification was built on the headland that divides the North and South Bays. The Romans also chose the headland for a military base and it was last attacked during WWI by the Germans who shelled the town in WWI. Its long history includes monasteries and the discovery of spa water, that brought the first 'tourists' for water cures: making it the first place in Britain to have bathing machines! With the arrival of the railway in the 1840s its place was assured as a holiday resort - a claim it still has today. Geoff Druett covers the town from the port to the castle, from South Bay to North Bay - showing how much more there is to Scarborough than the beach!
