Scarborough, North Yorkshire

Scarborough is a town on the North Sea coast of North Yorkshire, England. 
According to an Icelandic Saga, it was founded by the Vikings around 966. There are remains of Roman, Stone Age and Bronze Age settlements, so it was obviously a natural place to put a settlement.
With a population of around 50,000, Scarborough is the largest holiday resort on the Yorkshire coast. Yorkshire County Cricket Club's second ground is at North Marine Road.
Local news and information is provided by the towns radio station Yorkshire Coast Radio.
