How many of the shops do you remember ? These photos take you from the 1950s upto the present, from the Londesborough cinema to the stately Rowntrees (later Debenhams), from Woolworths and HMV to Boots. And many of the smaller shops will have a place in people's hearts. The top of Westborough used to be home to the Pavilion Hotel, you can see a fascinating gallery HERE about that, and what replaced it. All photos copyright The Scarborough News.

The Bathing Belle statue was a curiosity when installed outside Woolworths. Her home now is on the North Bay, near The Sands, and her sister, Diving Belle, stands next to the lighthouse.

Another photo looking up the street, this one from December 1983. You can see the sign for "Rudies Nightscene" (beneath the clock) and a trio of menswear shops - John Collier, Ray Alan and Dunn & co.
