Ravenscar, From Robin Hood's Bay 1901

Apparently there was once a plan to develop Ravenscar into a resort that would rival Scarborough, but the scheme failed owing to the unstable geology of the area. Ravenscar's name is said to be derived from Danish raiders who hoisted their standard here, on which was depicted a raven.
