Sarraceniac's views of Scarborough & N. Yorks.

A couple of people have asked to see what it is like round here, so, the first 3 are the ones not eligible for the photo comp. 'cos they were taken Oct. 27th & 28th.

Oh, and apologies if you don't have broadband. Go make a nice cup of tea (or litre of martini cocktail) whilst they are arriving. :D



Scarborough's South Bay from the old swimming pool.




St, Mary's Church. Anne Bronte's burial place. And unlike me it's not always in a fog.




The River Ouse at York. The bit that tourists don't see.




And the bit that they do see.




Castle Hill, Scarborough from the North Bay, with one of those rides that the Council was never going to spoil the area with in the foreground.




Scarborough Council shows its imaginative planning again with the siting of the kiddies playground.

 

Lovely place, John. Fog ... almost unheard of here, in Algarve at least, but have been through nightmarish fog up North in the mountains around Guarda where you couldn't see the nose of the car on windy narrow roads. :eek: :eek:

Your bridge would have been nice in the bridges comp recently.

Yes, like the imaginative planning. :D

 

hi john lovely pictures
glad we got to see them thanks for that.
lovely first picture,and fourth,well done

 

Great photos.
Pleased you shared them with us.
I have never been to Scarborough or York so it's nice to be able to see it through your eyes.
Thank you.

 

Lovely Photos there John.I have only been to Scarborough once in the 70's on a Merry Makers train trip and we spent all day on the beach riding on the donkeys and paddling in the sea :D

Would love to see some more photos if you have any more to put up and thankyou for sharing them with us

 

Sure Kandyfloss. Thanks for you kind words everyone. I'll leak a few more on in the future.

 

great to see scarborough john, when I come in march I dont need to go sightseeing bcos ive already seen it now if you would be so kind to take pics of the pubs would make my pubcrawl so much easier :D

 

OK Dee. Here's a picture of our most luxurious pub. It's so posh it won't serve martini cocktails by the litre, only the pint.




It's the one in front of you. To the right is the smoking area.

 

Hahahahaha my sort of place john

 

Good photos John,I used to do charity cycle rides across from Liverpool to Scarborough ended up in the grounds of the T.A. barracks they let us use their facilities and provided showers and refreshment.

 

Burniston barracks is long gone Walnut. It's been developed and is now what is called 'affordable' housing. I'll try to get a photo sometime but I don't use North Cliff Golf Club and that is all there is up there.

 

Went out today (actually, that's as daft as some of the other things I say, I go out every day) but I thought that Flamborough Head looked pretty good so here you are: (It's the one you can't actually see in the distance, but it is 15 miles away).

Flamborough Head from Cayton Bay Scarborough.



And, just for Dee, our other pub, The down-market one, in case she wants a gallon of martini cocktail when she comes on her pub crawl in March:

At the time I took this it was closed. :D

 

Oooo its open air john AND its got a Verranda wheres the dance floor :confused: :D

 

Anywhere you like Dee. Anywhere you like.

 

Thank you for all the pictures, Sarraceniac, they are all very nice. I love to watch the seaside in any wheather: the sea is always charming
