[5:10] Edited out the half hour it took you to find somewhere to park. I haven't been to Scarborough since 2005. It does not look any different. When I was a kid we would go there on day trips a few times a year, and we even stayed there for a week on a couple of occasions. I can confirm that the north bay had something of a revival because we stayed there for a week around 1980. We kids hated it because my parents did not want to spend much time on the north side, and my dad refused to use the car, so we would have to walk to the south side and back almost every day. What was particularly annoying was that the north side had a massive water park type thing, something that we had never seen before, and we just wanted to go there rather than walk 2 miles to sit on a crowded beach. We went there one day and it was great, although my dad disagreed. One year we did stay on the south side and there was a cliff lift that we used a few times to get to the hotel, but I cannot remember which one it was - probably the one by the spa. My dad refused to go on it, so we only used it when he wasn't with us. When we did not use the lift I believe there was what seemed like an unnecessarily long path that snaked down the cliff in some gardens. There may have been more direct stairs, but my mother dislikes stairs. Now that I think about it, between my dad and my mum with their long list of often conflicting preferences, it's amazing that I remember going to Scarborough as being fun.

Im 81 and live abroad quite a lot now, but my Mother took me to Scarborough every summer and Blackpool for the lights. We lived in Norfolk. I spent as much time as I could on the lifts and made every excuse possible to use them. I loved the two swimming pools, one, the sea water was my favourite. Peasholme park at least once a week to watch the fighting of the battle ships. I was such a regular was allowed to sail on one once. From age 4 to 13, then planes and abroad came into my left, although I then took my children to both venues when they grew up. Many years later I assisted in doing a total inventory of the Grand Hotel, with three other people. It took us over two weeks, there was no heat anywhere in the building and I thought I was going to freeze to death. I loved the place, especially when my Mother referred to the 6p bay and the 2 shilling bay!!!!

Darren on his jollies again!!! Thanks Darren for the history lesson on old Scarborough cliff lifts. As kids it was usually Bridlington, occasionally Filey or Whitby for holidays. Day trips to Scarborough but usually to South Bay. I never knew about the pier and only the Clift lift by the spa. On day trips it was too long a walk to Peasholm park and the model ships battles on the lake. As a Batley born kid it was equidistant to the Yorks or Lancs coasts but before my folks could buy a car (post war austerity there were not many s/h, or new cara available!) it was usually the Yorks coast via coaches (the coaches of the 50/60 were something to behold 😀) After we got a car then Lytham St Anne's was my folks preferred Lancs destination. Oh happy times. Cheers Darren, BTW Mrs Warboy sends her regards even though hit shoes are playing up on her bunions, DougT aka Victor Meldrew the Mancs pensioner 😎

If we had been good then a treat was the rowboat ferry across the harbour mouth. Treat of the week was the steamer cruise round the bay. Think both the Yorkshire Man and Bridlington Belle were in operation. Of course dad and other guys were in the bar saloon as once over 3?

A very interesting and informative video of the five Victorian/Edwardian Funicular Railways of Scarborough. I was born in Scarborough in 1952, raised in town, on the North Side; I have been in business all my life, and am now retired in the lovely village of Burniston. My childhood was spent in the North Bay, down the Glen, to the magical boating ponds; you had to be there early with your "Star" solid wooden yacht under your arm. Then it was on to Peasholm Park and the North Bay; along to Scalby Mills where, before the present seawall was built in 1960, Scalby Beck ran across the sands with, "Monkey Island" in the middle. As kids we could run up and down is steep faces! Then, back to the sands; someone would find an old fishbox washed up; providing an ideal wicket and cricket bat, we always had an old bald tennis ball with us; plenty of the blokes on the sands would eagerly join in. WE never had a penny between us...happy days!!

Nice one, Darren, and interesting subject, too. I remember being impressed by the number of cliff lifts that were operational in Scarborough during my first visits there, in 1977 and 79; and saddened at their demise when I was next there in 2001. True to character my friend Pat responded to a comment in a somewhat crowded Spa Lift about vibration, by producing her personal vibration from her handbag, amidst much laughter. And that was in the morning - she gets worse after a few drinks!! I also remember other, underground places in Scarborough that had all gone by 2003, that were an integral part of my sex education back in the days of widespread homophobia; as well as reading about the onetime existence of the pier.

Interesting video. It is a pity you didn't get any footage going up in the lift! Oh well, next time maybe? Thanks for uploading.

As a lad in the 50s/early 60s I'd often be in Scarborough. My Aunt & Uncle, and maternal grandparents, would take me and my brother for trips at the weekends. A&U had a car, so it would be trips in the Dales, and the grandparents took us to the seaside by train. We only ever went to the South Bay as grandad had a lung shot out in WW1 so couldn't walk far. But I once got to the North Bay. I went on a school trip that included Peasholm park, where friends pulled out Sobranie Black Russians and Gitanes Disque Blurghhhhhh! I wonder what my parents did while we were at the seaside. I forgot to say: there is a another brother - 13 years younger than I am. I wonder . . . It'd be interesting to see a video about Skipsea Sands - a merge of then/now, with major cliff erosion having taken place, would be evocative.
