Scarborough Holidays 1936 1930s, with South Pool and Peasholm Park, F955a

Some amatuer 16mm Kodak Safety film (pre Kodachrome) of Scarborough. This includes footage of the South Bay Pool which closed in 1989. There is also footage of people enjoying the beach, the harbour, the MV Coronia pleasure boat, and Peasholm Park.
I often get dates wrong because time prevents as thorough a check as is needed to be spot on all the time...but I think I may have got the date right this time. I think 1936 because the MV Coronia was built in 1935, and had a second dummy funnel added in in 1937. It appears here with just one funnel so this must be after 1935 but before the start of 1938. Given that marine work tends to occur over the winter I will assume this is 1936. If you know different, I would love to be proved wrong!
Anyway, some fantastic and very human footage of how our great resorts once looked.
This was orignally colour footage, which I have kept, but held back the red. So it looks vitually black and white anyway. It was frame by frame digitised at 2048X1536 using the original 16mm film (then cropped to the aspect you see).

Many a happy day watching the naval battle in Peasholm in the late 50s and early 60s. How this country has lost its way is clearly apparent.

Scarborough is still an okay place. It’s decline wasn’t as bad as Blackpool’s.
