Nostalgia: Scarborough harbour

A peaceful scene as boats rest on the mud at low tide in Scarborough harbour.

Pictured left, the Harbour master’s lodgings is all that remains of Scarborough’s lighthouse after the structure took a direct hit during the bombardment by two German battle cruisers on December 16, 1914. The lighthouse was later demolished because it was deemed unsafe.
