Dr George Sheeran, lecturer and author of several books, including “The Golden Age of Yorkshire Resorts 1800-1914, will lead a walk around the town’s surviving Victorian and Edwardian buildings, bringing to life the story of its growth as a popular holiday resort.
The guided walk will start at Scarborough station, and take in the Grand Hotel, continue to The Crescent, and down to the beach at Scarborough Spa with a break for lunch, then along South Cliff’s elegant resort buildings and returning with chance to look around St Martins-on-the-Hill (Bodley and the Morris with glass by Burne-Jones).
The walk is timed to allow arrival of the 10.53am train from Manchester, Leeds and York at Scarborough railway station, itself an elegant Victorian survival, dating from 1845.
