Hi Steve, we were there on 21st August and were told of an incident the day before. Everyone’s aware of the tides as it’s posted in the two car parks so most people give it about half an hour before to start back, however the big car park tends to get busy and if you’re in the wrong lane you have to wait till everyone else has exited before you can go. So the last people out are already under pressure to get off the island . This isn’t normally a problem as everyone’s going the same way. However the day before us, there was an accident at the railway crossing on the shore side about half a mile up the road. A tractor had skewered itself and hay bails on the crossing bar and had become stuck fast.the police were called but we’re on the wrong side of the crossing as the cars coming off the island couldn’t get past and we’re starting to queue Up. It didn’t take long till the queue , which was not moving, was as far back as the refugee in the middle. Apparently the police had phone to get someone on the island to stop more cars jointing the queue, and hotfoot it past the queue to direct all the cars queued up into the car park of a restaurant to let the cars on the crossing get off it. . But the time they did that the queue was on the other side and the water was starting to lap across the road at the lowest point. Thus was the interesting sight of policemen encouraging cars to divert off the road and go into a car park they didn’t want to get stuck in. One policeman was parking them so close they were nose to tail and not able to get out as the next car was 30cms away. Then they had to encourage the drivers behind to ignore the speed limit to get them up and off the road so the ones who could not reverse off the causeway had to make a dash for it. They only just made it getting all the traffic off the road as the wash was getting bigger by the minute. So leave in plenty of time would be my advise.

Hi, just a quick reply to some idiot comments --- my Late Father designed and built the causeway many years ago to allow vehicles and alike to cross the sands by a roadway to further developed tourism to the Island ---- knowing full well it was tidal! ---- The causeway was never designed to be used at high tide ! --- hence the crossing times -- if you ignore the crossing times or try to cross when the tide is on the turn and therefore coming in ---- its your fault --- nobody else's fault ---- Go and Enjoy this beautiful Island in safety by playing by the rules.

You can't cue thick and anyone driving through after ignoring the tide times deserves everything they get. And a very big fine to pay for the rescue should be dished out

Brilliant video and commentary. How stupid can some people be?!

I remember as a kid on holiday with my gran mam and brother, sailing our white star yatchs on the model boat pond! Is it still there? as I went to Scarborough peasholm park earlier this year (2024) and couldn't remember where it was 😢 we used up have a brilliant time! Simple times and wholesome fun!

Wow, magnificent looking hotel 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉,

Beautiful photos, thank you for sharing👍😎

That’s mint bud

great stuff :)

Wow. Loving all these videos of my town. Thank you.

Thanks for your efforts to make this video. It is really good information. 🙏

I was there with family in October 2022 and just loved the place but I was very shocked at the state of the public toilets they were putrid so we had to go to the pub and buy a drink before they would let us use the toilets.

23 luglio ROMA 🪙🎛🪙🎛🪙🎛🪙

No way.... I was only here a few days ago , but I did a wild camp 🏕 😊

That's great, you got our VW transporter (Betzy) on your vid. Parked up for 2 nights all paid for and use of our own loo to see the Spanish Galeon!👍🏼

hahahaha good one :)

Brilliant love it 😂😂😂

Walked past all these last night, the American rig looked amazing, but wouldn’t want to have to pay for the five parking spaces it took up! Hopefully they were away before nine in the morning. 🤞

Love it

Brilliant memories. We visited the north bay every july from Glasgow between 1963 and 74. Stayed in Mr's Websters B & B on Scholes Park Road ? Am going back next Saturday for a few days on our way home from Cornwall.

I love how you combined all these images together, linked by the music. And the end: 😂

Thank you. This was wonderful to see. I grew up in 70s 80s here. Loved it. Always down South side,or up near the Castle. Swimming in North Bay pool or exploring Peasholm. Oh and Zoo and Marineland... The dinosaurs 😂😂

They should build that road higher and make it into a bridge 🌉.

Last month whilst on holiday in the UK from Australia, I took my grand kids to Scarborough to show them where I, as a toddler dug on the sands and had cruises on the "Caronia" and "Thornwick Bay" if I remember their names correctly, while an old sea dog played "Anchors Away" on an accordion. Back in the 21st century, the weather was atrocious, but we all loved the day. Thanks for the memories.

Great video - interesting - but prefer it when you are narrating… those automated voices and bots are really annoying 😫

Lovely video

On one of my clips someone - from Scotland - decided to make really negative comments and he seemed to think that I am putting Scotland down. That is not the case, I was supporting Scotland during their games and wanted them to win. They played some awful football and it was a shame for the fans and the team that they did not get to the last 16. England also played pretty crap but we have managed to get to the last 16 - we got further than our friends in Scotland. It`s that simple, there is no malice intended, England played crap and we got lucky that is why we are in the last 16. There have been a lot of teams who have just not turned up when it mattered - Italy for example. It`s football, shit happens.

So good

The fuck you say about Scotland

I mean if I was to think about it I would say it was a prison from the castle for hard labour but I know nothing on the subject

Scarborough, a great place, love it!

Fond memories of this place from early 1950 all my holidays were spent camping down near ymca in a field at back of a waterfall grammar and grandad and most aunts and uncles and cousins all there as well first two weeks in August at evening time we all marched down to scalby mills adults had a beer we had pop and crisps then played on rocks farmer I remember farmer Pickering and his wife she wore really thick glasses must have bad eye sight I would watch her operating the milk bottle filling machine never imagined in later life I spent 32 years working on maintenance in the dairy industry

I was in that queue. 😂 Great gig too.

Not quo.. Francis and friends.. 👍😂

Hope you are watching this TimAWells from Sheffield - makes a mockery of your claim that Scarborough`s Open Air Theatre is soulless. For the rest of the season scenes like this will be normal. Over 100,000 will see shows this year.

Great to see! I remember going to Brid Spa in 1984 for the "End of the Road" tour. Brilliant night - they ran out of songs and asked us if we minded them playing some for a second time! I still have the T shirt - and it still fits me!

Is that me parr fishing....

Wot! No fat people?

Once upon a time, when we were a people..❤❤

Interesting to see 44806 at Gallows Close as it is currently working on the NYMR in 2024. Great to see the before and after shots of the depot at Gallows Close and the supermarket built where the tracks used to be. Sadly we'll never see trains through the tunnel again but it was fun to leave Central and then reverse through the tunnel on our way to Whitby.

😂😂😂😂, good one.....!!!!!!

It was at about the 45sec mark I realized that I was looking at Scarborough, ENGLAND, not Scarborough, Ontario, CANADA.

I lived just outside Scarborough in 1964, was there between 1962 and 1966 before moving to Malta cos of the old man's job. Lived at Crossgates, near the Byways pub.

This is amazing. Spent every childhood holiday here with my parents and grandmother, brought my husband and two boys here when they were children and 2 years ago my husband and I returned with my grown up sons. Scarborough will always be special for us.
