The history of Scarborough : from earliest times to the year 2000 /by Jack Binns.

"There are at least thirteen other Scarboroughs in the world, but the Scarborough on Yorkshire's coast in England is the first and parent of all the others. This is a new account of a 2000-year old history of a place that has been Iron-Age camp, Roman signal station, Vikings' lair, Angevin castle, European fish fair, shipbuilding port and Britain's earliest watering resort that invented holidays by the sea."--Provided by the publisher.
