IN PICTURES: Here are 17 lost pictures of Scarborough from the 1940s and 1950s - including several of the Open Air Theatre

Ever wondered what Scarborough was like in the 1940s and 1950s?

Well, now you can see for youself by checking out these pictures which have been sent to The Scarborough News by Keith Raper.

The pictures were taken by his father Dennis Raper, who was a press photographer at the Scarborough Evening News from 1949 to 1951 and later at the Bridlington Free Press.

Sadly, Dennis died in 1985, and his wife Evelyn Raper died last year. Keith was left an archive of Dennis’ pictures which he has shared with The Scarborough News.
