In the second half of the 19th Century, Scarborough was a popular tourist destination, made accessible to all by the expanding railway network. Detailed guide books, such as Black's Guide to Yorkshire, were available to help visitors make the most of their stay. Black's was updated each year and included historical facts about local towns and villages, where to stay, what to see and excursions to places of interest. This 45 page booklet combines text relating to Scarborough and the surrounding area from Black's Guide, published in 1888, with photographs taken from 'magic lantern' projection slides owned by the Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive. It is in three parts. The first is a fascinating history and general description of Yorkshire and the second a more detailed look at Scarborough. The text for both is reproduced from the 1888 guide-book. The third part comprises thirty two photographs taken between 1880 and 1910, most of which have probably not been published before. The Black's Guide text and the photographs complement each other and enable us to step back in time to visit this iconic, Victorian, seaside resort.

The Romans chose the headland that divides Scarborough’s two bays for a watch tower but it was the Vikings who, according to legend, first gave the town its name. The settlement they founded was later raised to the ground by the Norwegian king Harald Hardrada in 1066 and no trace of it has ever been found. The recorded history of Scarborough begins in the middle of the 12th century with the construction of the castle on the headland and the development of a port and town beyond its walls. King Henry II issued a charter in 1163 and the royal borough was the largest and most prosperous port on the Yorkshire coast in the 13th and 14th centuries, but it struggled to maintain the pier and fell into decline. Town and castle endured two bloody and destructive sieges during the Civil Wars, but shortly afterwards a local doctor called Robert Whittie promoted the health-giving properties of a spring in the South Bay. Scarborough’s fame as a medicinal spa spread quickly and by the end of the 17th century the town was the regular resort of northern gentry families in search of a cure. New streets added to the medieval core accommodated the influx of wealthy visitors. The coming of the railway in 1845 ushered in mass tourism and saw the construction of new boarding houses and hotels wherever there was a view of the sea. Scarborough was on course to becoming one of the country’s best known seaside resorts. With the decline of the seaside holiday, the town has redeveloped as a conference and cultural centre, the first museum, the Rotunda, re-opening in 2008 as a regional centre for geology.

Had you looked out on Scarborough Coast millions of years ago you may have glimpsed a marine reptile such as a Plesiosaurus or an Ichthyosaurus chasing their prey? The rocks and cliffs such as Castle Hill and Olivers Mount were under the sea waiting for the ice glaciers to thaw so they could rise above sea-level and form the backbone of the town of Scarborough that we know today. Thorgils Skarthi a Viking leader and poet and his brother Cormack (Kormack) are reputed to have found the town of Skarðaborg around the year 966. (Although the town was occupied prior to this date) The town has a rich and varied history. At one time almost completely destroyed by fire, it was transformed into a fashionable Spa Town earning it the title 'The Queen of Watering Places' and became Britain's first seaside resort. Illustrated with over one hundred photographs, Scarborough: A History of the Town and its People tells the story of the town's inhabitants - their lives, their tragedies and occasionally even murder.
