Foreword It’s a fascinating time for the Yorkshire Coast and whilst the area still faces many challenges, it equally has a lot to offer the visitor. From the glorious heritage coastline and beautiful rolling countryside, incorporating a national park, to its captivating cultural identity and not forgetting its delicious food and drink, locally sourced and served with a friendly face and genuine warm welcome. This coastline has always been a big draw for tourists ever since Mrs Thomasin Farrer discovered spa waters in Scarborough in the early 17th century, establishing England’s first true seaside resort. But times and tastes move on; so here in the Borough there are exciting plans for a new multi- million pound waterpark on the town’s North Bay; a sports village on the former Weaponess coach park in the heart of the town; redevelopment of the former Futurist Theatre site on South Bay and in Bridlington construction is underway on a new £25 million leisure centre that will open next summer. In fact, the significance of the visitor economy to the Borough of Scarborough cannot be over-stated, with the visitor spend in 2013 being £488 million, supporting over 16,200 jobs and attracting 6.2 million day trips. It is true to say that tourism is one of the few sectors demonstrating real growth potential nationally and since 2010 it has been the UK’s fastest growing employment sector and is the fifth largest industry. We are a people business and first impressions are extremely important in developing relationships. The welcome and customer service visitors receive helps to define a destination. Coupled with that, you are at the front line of providing that service to visitors, therefore investing in people is the key to a successful visitor experience. This training course is all about enriching that visitor experience by providing you with improved product knowledge, so that you are able to deliver higher levels of customer service to visitors. Please enjoy this training programme, discover more about the Yorkshire Coast and all that it has to offer the visitor and then go out and spread the word as one of our champions. This participant’s guide is for you to use during the 2-day training course but also for you to take away with you when you leave to assist you in handling visitor enquiries in the future.

Scarborough Fair, made famous by Simon and Garfunkel in the 1960’s, dates back to 1253 when King Henry III granted the town a Charter to hold a yearly fayre for 45-days of trading in the late summer. Nowadays you can explore the ancient ruins of Scarborough castle with its 3,000 years of history dating back to the first millennium BC or go back 160 million years to the time when Scarborough was the home to the dinosaurs. The Rotunda Museum now tells the story of these incredible beasts and the Jurassic coastline where they lived.

  • Calotypes and Biographies from the 2019 Exhibition
    Calotypes and biographies from the 2019 exhibition Bob Hale, YPS Archivist, 2019 Henry Baines (1793-1878) Henry Baines was born on 15 May 1793 in a cottage over the ruins of the medieval St Leonard’s Hospital in present-day Museum Street, York. From the age of twelve he was employed as a gardener, saying he first put spade in ground close by these ruins, in what became the Museum Gardens. Work took him to Halifax where he became interested in natural history. After his return to York in 1824 or early 1825, married and with a baby daughter, he joined the firm of Backhouses, nurserymen. In 1828, the Yorkshire Philosophical Society took the lease of the Manor Shore and appointed Henry to take care of the grounds. With the opening of the new Museum in the gardens in 1830 he also became its sub- curator under John Phillips, and was provided with accommodation for his family there. He made an immediate impression. The YPS annual report for 1830 reads: “Council consider themselves fortunate in the person whom they have engaged to take charge of the grounds; a person qualified by his skill and industry, not only to cultivate the gardens with scientific diligence, but to render essential service to the museum. His activity has already obtained for the Society over 500 plants.” Largely self-taught, he published his Flora of Yorkshire in 1840, a vital contribution to the study of local botany. He was 51 and by then a devoted and highly valued employee of the YPS when he helped to host the British Association’s meeting when it returned to York in 1844.

  • A Vision for Scarborough
    A Vision for Scarborough This broadsheet contains the conclusions of the Vision building process carried out by John Thompson & Partners and West 8 between January and May 2002, working as part of Yorkshire Forward’s Urban Renaissance Panel and with the support of Scarborough Borough Council. The next stage of the process will be to analyse all of the ideas that have been generated and to create an Action Plan for their delivery. The Vision described in this leaflet is not a rigid plan or blue print which Yorkshire Forward or Scarborough Borough Council will implement tomorrow. It represents a way forward, a new direction for the town and its people. These are examples of the kind of things that can and must be achieved. The Vision will take a long time to deliver and will depend upon everyone in the community, individuals, business people, the Council and Yorkshire Forward showing commitment and leadership over the next 10 -20 years. A Vision for Scarborough “We’ve got to start looking up to quality and not down to price.” Introduction Cultural Town Scarborough already contains a wealth In the autumn of 2001, Yorkshire Forward (the of cultural assets, but many are hidden Regional Development Agency) launched its away and under-valued.
