These Scarborough pubs are some that have sadly closed in the past few years

A spate of pub closures hit Scarborough at the end of 2018 ... and here we feature some that have closed in the recent past.

The town still has a vibrant array of hostelries, and many closed-down pubs now have new drinking spots in their place, so are not featured here. You'll probably remember many more ... which were your favourites? Let's hope the ones mentioned HERE that closed at the end of 2018 can have a bright future.
