Truly wondrous. I was 5 in 1964. I know we had a holiday there in 1962 because there's a photo of my mum, dad and I taken at the harbour and the photo is date stamped. I think the next time we had a week there was 1966, same time as the six days war in the middle east. We stayed in a flat on Cromwell Road, it was the best! Thank you for sharing this, you've brought a genuine tear to my eye.
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.
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.
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 😂😂
This is the `REAL` Scarborough - the first and best. We date back to at least 1000 years ago. All the other places in the world that are called Scarborough have taken their name from our town :)
@@stevemessruther172 So the Scarborough that I am from (Ontario) takes its name from the bluffs in your Scarborough. Here's a partial entry from the Wikipedia etymology - "The area is named after the English town of Scarborough, inspired by Elizabeth Simcoe, the wife of John Graves Simcoe, the first lieutenant governor of Upper Canada.[5] The bluffs along the Lake Ontario shores reminded her of the limestone cliffs in Scarborough, England. On August 4, 1793, she wrote in her diary, "The shore is extremely bold, and has the appearance of chalk cliffs, but I believe they are only white sand. They appeared so well that we talked of building a summer residence there and calling it Scarborough."[6] Before that, the area was named Glasgow, after the Scottish city.[7]"
@@martinroncetti4134 Bit of a contrast between Scarborough and Glasgow . The limestone cliffs on our coast are a bit further down towards the south - Flamborough. Most of the cliffs either side of Scarborough are made up of mud and rocks that were pushed up after the last ice age ( at least 70,000 years ago). There are at least 7 other places in the world called Scarborough and all really take their name from where I live. The general theory is that we got the name from the Vikings who invaded Britain in the 600s AD (before that it was the Romans) . One Viking is said to have been called Thorgils Scathi - the name Scarborough is made up of two parts - Scar - meaning rock face, and borough - which is an area. We are also told that it was named after Scarthi - becoming Scathi`s Borough. Either way it dates back an awful long time. We were just a little fishing village and it stayed like that right up to the 1600s. In the 1700s the town started to expand and we had a lot of ship building. The big change came in 1850s when the railway came to town. Scarborough ships were to be found all over the world and just up the coast - Whitby - Captain Cook was based. In1793 our harbour was very busy with lots of shipbuilding and it was also the half way point between Newcastle and London. Newcastle and the North East had lots of coal mines. The coal would betaken down the coast to supply London. The vast majority of those ships would pull into Scarborough for supplies and also to take shelter when the weather was bad. One of my friends lived near Niagara Falls and via them I got to know some of it`s history. It appears to have been created 70,000 years ago during the last ice age and has been eroding away to what we see today. It was also 70,000 years ago that the same ice age created all the cliffs and hills around the coast of Filey, Scarborough and Bridlington.

Yes we always went to Scarborough remember the outdoor pool next to peasolm park and those warships 🙂

All that area has been redone in last 2 years - looks great now.
@@stevemessruther172 we look forward to seeing the Italian gardens this summer hopefully
It was at about the 45sec mark I realized that I was looking at Scarborough, ENGLAND, not Scarborough, Ontario, CANADA.
