Scarborough will soon be celebrating 400 years of being a tourist resort.
The milestone will be reached in 2026.
Rich Maw is an independent councillor for Weaponess and Ramshill.
He's been working with Scarborough Museums Trust and employing a locality grant to find out more about what happened 400 years ago:
Councillor Maw explained who has helped the project based around the old pump room in the town:
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
