These wonderful photos put the super into Scarborough celebrating a decade in the life of the seaside resort. They turn back the clock to the 1960s and showcase life around the town using photos powered by the YEP archive. The beaches of South Bay and North Bay are featured as well as other landmarks including Peasholm Park and The Spa. Also in focus are the harbour and the resort's proud links to cricket and the fishing industry. The town’s shops and nearby villages are also included away from the tourist hotspots, amusements and kiss me quick hats. Wish you were here?
