For centuries, the North Yorkshire coastal town of Scarborough has been a favourite holiday resort. Visitors are drawn there by its glorious scenery, heritage and the warm, welcoming hospitality.In this book local author Keith C.R. Johnston takes readers on a fascinating exploration of the history of the pubs in Scarborough and the nearby villages. He focuses on hostelries that exist today and also highlights notable inns that no longer exist because the area, in common with many other places, has far fewer licensed premises than in the past. At one stage there were eleven pubs in the harbour area, only two of which still exist – the Golden Ball and the Newcastle Packet. Many of those that have disappeared played an interesting part in the history of the town. Scarborough developed as a fishing and shipping port - and later as a major spa centre and seaside resort - and this twofold history influenced the development of the town’s public houses.The author’s extensive research, using a wealth of source material, is further enhanced by the recollections of licensees, workers and customers. Illustrated throughout, with historic and modern images, ‘Scarborough Pubs’ presents a superb portrait of this aspect of local life, past and present.
