Scarborough

Scarborough is situated at the heart of the Yorkshire Coast line. Scarborough was once a spa town with Victorians and Edwardians flocking to the resort to take the healing waters. There have been settlements in Scarborough from the earliest times. A Mesolithic site was found at Star Carr near Seamer. Later the Roman’s recognised the importance of Castle Hill and installed a signal post there. The present settlement owes its existence to a Viking Leader called Thorgils. He founded the modern town around 960AD.
