Scarborough has a rich and varied history extending from the Roman
signal station and the marauding hordes of Vikings under Tostig
Godwinson and Harald III of Norway through its revival under Henry
II who built the Angevin stone castle and granted charters in 1155
and 1163 permitting a market and rule by burgesses. The changing
fortunes of the castle and its role in the Civil War, the founding
of the spa and development of tourism and establishment of famous
hotels are detailed in the exhaustive Changing Scarborough: From
Romans to Renaissance Town. Also covered are the associations with
Anne Bronte, the Scarborough Riots and the role of the famous
Quaker family, the Rowntrees, and the town's dramatic and lethal
bombardment in the First World War, the famous lifeboat, Alan
Ayckbourn, the Sitwells and the treasures of St Martin on the Hill.
Old images are juxtaposed with modern equivalents to provide a
fascinating historical journey that will delight visitors and
residents alike.
