More about this scene

Winifred Holtby lived in this road while she was writing her novel 'South Riding'. Another famous visitor to the town was Lawrence of Arabia, who frequently visited the White Cottage in the Eastgate area. A signpost on the corner of the wide road points to the sea, and the Clifton Guest House stands opposite.
