Pictures from a long weekend in Scarborough<\/a> in mid October.<\/p>\n

\"ScarboroughBridge\"<\/a><\/p>\n

View along the Spa Bridge towards the Grand Hotel<\/a>. Opened in 1867, the Grand Hotel was one of Europe’s first large-scale hotels, with 365 rooms (one for each day of the year). Now it caters for a budget market and is not the grand hotel it was once was.<\/p>\n

\"ScarboroughHarbour\"<\/a> \"ScarboroughHarbourGun\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Boats in the harbour (with the castle<\/a> visible on the skyline of the promontory) and (R) a WW1 era gun recovered from a torpedoed cargo ship.<\/p>\n

\"ScarboroughSouthBay\"<\/a> \"ScarboroughNorthBay\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The (L) South and (R) North bays either side of the castle promontory.<\/p>\n

\"ScarboroughCastleKeep\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The keep of the castle was ruined by cannon fire during the siege of the castle<\/a> by Parliamentary forces in 1645.<\/p>\n

\"ScarboroughSpa\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Spa, whose waters were discovered and developed in the 17th C, was the original focus of Scarborough’s tourist industry.<\/p>\n

\"PickeringNYMcrossing\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Level crossing on the North Yorks Moors heritage railway<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"PickeringStation\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It turned out to be a 1940s weekend on the railway, with astonishing numbers of people milling around in 1940s costume. Here Levisham station<\/a> had become Le Visham station in Nazi-occupied France (ho ho).<\/p>\n

\"PickeringMurals\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fantastic 15th C murals in the parish church of Pickering<\/a> (end-point of the NYM railway).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
