There are at least thirteen other Scarboroughs in the world, but the Scarborough on Yorkshire's coast in England is the first and parent of all the others. This is a new account of a 2000-year old history of a place that has been Iron-Age camp, Roman signal station, Viking's lair, Angevin castle, European fish fair, shipbuilding port and Britain's earliest watering resort tht invented holidays by the sea.
Jack Binns was educated at Cambridge and taught history at Scarborough Sixth Form College. Jack lives in Scarborough and is the acknowledged authority on the town's history. This scholarly, yet readable account of Scarborough's history is fully illustrated and has a bibliography to allow for further study of the town's history.
