@@jeffallinson8089 yes, like I say, the 80s was the last of the glory years, though we didn't know it then. What they've done, they've tried to modernise what should be, what the public want, a traditional seaside resort with bespoke architecture/buildings/attractions. Like the North bay, instead of the Corner Cafe and all those seaside novelty shops, we've got a Nisa local and yuppie flats, let's get rid of the bucket n spade n candy floss n rock shops, let's have a block a flats instead.

And he called it a dump!!! Needless to say I defended it vigorously, both barrels he got, but then I would do, nothing but till I drop, being Scarborough born n bred!
