Scarborough, South Cliff Tramway 1890

More about this scene
The tramway offered holiday-makers an alternative means of escape from the beach to the Esplanade, other than by the 224 steps cutting through the Spa Gardens, and all for just 1d. At just under 21 miles from Whitby, Scarborough rapidly developed to become the premier resort of the Yorkshire coast, and was often overrun with day trippers, as Blackpool was.
