Stephen Joseph Theatre
by steventilly
This used to be the Odeon Cinema when I was a kid - I saw "Live & Let Die" here! Now it's The Stephen Joseph Theatre. This theatre is Alan Aykbourn's "home" theatre and all of his plays get their first showing here. We rather like a lot of his plays, and it would be nice to see one here. Something for next time, prhaps.
The second best fish and chips in town
by Britannia2 about Wackers
The second best place for fish and chips in Scarborough is Wackers. Mother Hubbards wins by a whisker but do not pass Wackers by - in fact it is better than its competitor in the way it is air conditioned and is on the ground floor - there are no stairs to climb.
The fish and chips are very good but perhaps not as good as my first choice - Wackers is good for things that Mother Hubbards is not - mainly access for everyone. What else - fish and chips! There is also a coffee shop within selling scones, cakes and biscuits.
The Diving Bell statue
by Britannia2
The Diving Bell statue was brought to Vincents Pier and stands in front of the lighthouse looking out to sea on completion in 2007. This is a beautiful structure of a female diver in bronze and commemorates Scarborough becoming England's first sea bathing resort in the 17th Century.
