Scarborough: a History

by Trevor Pearson

The site of a Bronze Age barrow and settlement, and later an impressively sized Roman signal station, Scarborough saw the period of its greatest importance in the Middle Ages, when it became one of the most prosperous of England's northern ports. After a slump in the early modern period it saw a period of renewed importance from the 18th century as a health tourism destination. Trevor Pearson, who has excavated extensively in the town is the ideal guide to its history, with this volume showing a marked attention to the archaeology and physical development of the town, in particular during its medieval heyday. 132p b/w illus (Phillimore 2009)
