Scarborough
It was in the 19th
century that the greatest changes came to Scarborough. This
fine
spa town has laid claim to healing properties for it's
waters for almost 200 years. Not only were they said to cure
melancholy but also asthma, skin problems and to cleanse the
blood. Worthy of note is the fact that Anne Bronte
(1820-1849) was one of the many invalides who came to
Scarborough for the sea-cure. Sadly, she died here in 1849
and is buried in a local church-yard.
During the Victorian and Edwardian times the zest for
sea-bathing swept the whole country and Scarborough lays
claim to the invention of the bathing machine
To this day Scarborough remains a very popular resort and
this delightful north coast town overlooks two magnificent
sandy bays which are divided by a huge headland. North bay
is very popular for its rock
 pools
but those wishing to spend time sun bathing will be more
likely to prefer the softer, more sheltered sands of South
bay.
There are many gracious old buildings to be seen both in and
around the town and the natural history museum, art gallery
and medicinal baths are interestingly housed in Victorian
properties. Around the harbour stand picturesque buildings
including the Customs House, King Richard 111's house along
with some really splendid old inns.
Modern living is well catered for in this area and branches
of all major high street stores can easily be found.
There is much to engage the visitor in this fine old resort,
not least, the very pretty seafront gardens and lovely wide
promenades along which to enjoy an afternoon or evening
stroll just as our fashionable ancestors did a century or so
ago.
