  • Scarborough's War Years, 1939-1945
    SCARBOROUGH’S WAR YEARS - 1939-45 by Richard James Percy PAGE 1 It would be impossible to recollect all the activity that went on in Scarborough during the Second World War. Shops and businesses had to adjust to the war situation. Many closed earlier than usual because of the blackout. The hospital only allowed two visitors to each patient per day and only one at a time by the bedside. Everyone had to carry their gasmasks, although people soon became tired of doing so and the habit slowly petered out. Everyone had an identity card which had to be on the person at all times. The hotels and boarding houses were full of visitors on the first Christmas of the war but this was all to change as one by one they were taken over by the military for the billeting of the armed forces. Scarborough had become a prohibited area and it was difficult for anyone to enter without a lot of questions being asked. Later on in the war visitors did start to arriving for their holidays but it was very hard for them to find accommodation. Many shops and houses had their windows and other breakable things taped up to stop blast damage in case of air raids. The Floral Hall, Gala Land and the South Bay Pool had wire netting in vunerable places. The inhabitants of Scarborough attended dances at the Olympia – the Spa was requisitioned by the military – and although the streets were full of soldiers and a blackout, there was never one case of assault or any trouble.

  • EAST RIDING of YORKSHIRE HEARTH TAX ASSESSMENT MICHAELMAS 1672 by David and Susan Neave
    EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE HEARTH TAX ASSESSMENT MICHAELMAS 1672 by David and Susan Neave 1. INTRODUCTION This volume comprises the hearth tax returns for the historic East Riding of Yorkshire and the town and county of Hull.1 The East Riding, the smallest of the three Yorkshire ridings, covers some 750,000 acres (303,750 hectares). It is almost totally bounded by water with the Humber estuary to the south, the North Sea to the east, and the river Ouse to the west and south and river Derwent to the north. The boundary, around 200 miles in length, is only land- based for seven miles between York and Stamford Bridge and eight miles between Binnington Carr and North Cliff, Filey (Map 1).2 Hull, more correctly Kingston-upon-Hull, stands at the confluence of the river Hull and the Humber estuary. The riding divides into four main natural regions, the Yorkshire Wolds, Holderness, the Vale of York, and the Vale of Pickering (Map 2). The Yorkshire Wolds, a great crescent of chalk stretching from the Humber to the coast at Flamborough Head, is the most distinctive relief feature of the region. Essentially a high tableland of gently rolling downs dissected by numerous steep-sided dry valleys it reaches a maximum height of around 808 feet (246 metres) above sea-level near Garrowby Hill. At the coast the chalk cliffs rise up to 400 feet (120 metres). Along the western edge of the Wolds are the Jurassic Hills, a narrow band of limestone that broadens out to the north to form an area of distinctive scenery to the south of Malton.

The incremental increase in the number of agencies and projects with an interest in the Vale but little concerted action or agreement about the qualities that make the Vale of Pickering a unique landscape. The need for an agreed, clear statement on the special character, qualities and attributes of the Vale which can be incorporated into policy documents For English Heritage this Statement of Significance is the first stage in developing an overall strategy for the Vale of Pickering. Once this document has been agreed and „endorsed‟ by its partners and co-contributors, the intention is that it will be followed by an „Action Plan‟ that will: Illustrate how the special qualities of the Vale can be enhanced through specific projects Seek funding for and propose specific projects and initiatives.
