Scarborough, once a humble fishing village, has transformed into the largest holiday resort on the North Yorkshire coast. In his book, author Mike Smith showcases fifty architectural landmarks and notable structures, both old and new, that define the town's evolving identity. Through a captivating and diverse selection of buildings, he charts the development and changing face of Scarborough.
Scarborough's two magnificent bays are separated by a headland adorned with the remnants of a Roman signal station and the haunting ruins of a twelfth-century castle, two of the oldest buildings featured in this book. The town's spa buildings are a testament to the discovery of health-giving springs in 1626, which transformed Scarborough into Britain's first seaside resort. The Rotunda, conceived in 1829 by William 'Strata Smith, the 'Father of English Geology,' was one of the world's first purpose-built museums. When the Grand Hotel opened in 1867, it was Europe's largest purpose-built hotel. Other buildings are included for their cultural associations with people such as the Sitwell family, while St Mary's Church is the final resting place of Anne Brontë.
Bringing this engaging architectural portrait of Scarborough right up to the present century, the author also highlights stylish seafront apartments and the Stephen Joseph Theatre, which is wrapped in the skin of a former art deco cinema. Illustrated throughout, Scarborough in 50 Buildings will captivate residents, visitors, and anyone with ties to this beloved British holiday resort.
