Tales Of Heartache In Troubled Yorkshire Seaside Town 🇬🇧

Scarborough, once grand seaside town - the first true resort town of its kind in the UK - has fallen on tough times in recent decades. The rise of the package holiday has slowed the flow of visitors and social decline has been evident for decades. Viewers have told me it is Yorkshire's WORST seaside town, possibly the worst seaside town in the UK!
I met up with ‪@wanderingturnip‬ and we gave the town the once over. From the Grand Hotel on the seafront to the supposed roughest estate in Scarborough we met the locals and found out what life is really like in 2023. I also uncover the locations of Scarborough's darkest secret...
Is this really another broken British seaside town or is there any hope?

@abctransparency5 8 месяцев назад

Of course, the unemployed/jobless do provide an important insight into understanding the job market. It could be the case that there aren't many jobs locally, or maybe the unemployed don't have the skills to be employed in the available jobs, in which case efforts could be made to upskill the unemployed. Understanding the job market cannot be arrived at solely from the point of view of those who are in work. Yours is part of the elitist mentality (those without, do not count) that's causing some of the problems up and down this country.

Such a shame to interview endless people with personal issues. I live down the coast in Bridlington. People often go to live at the seaside to begin a new life...but sometimes simply bring their previous issues with them, and then sadly blame the town as being responsible for their poor life choices. Scarborough is a great town with genuinely nice facilities for those who can be bothered to look and engage in something other than sitting in a pub. Great gardens such as Peasholm Park, a lovely Spa complex. Open top buses, two cliff lifts, a wonderful harbour and fishing heritage, old cobbled streets...etc...Just thought i would even up this one sided view of a lovely town. Interview a range of people not a segment of people hand picked that reflect your agenda. It is harder to pick something up than to kick something down......

@JS-bh3pz 10 месяцев назад

The problem is that you describe tourists locations that take a day to explore. Many of the new spots like the water park are too expensive for locals to go to. The problems are much deeper than that. The town is/was just ran very poorly. You have 3rd or 4th generation of people living on benefits that don't know any better. I moved out of Scarborough 10yrs ago and the only sensible educational course for adult student was to become a graphic designer. How many graphic designers does a town that is made of falling apart hotels and restaurants need? There are nice areas but that is about 10% of the town and only some people can afford to live or go out there. The rest is sadly as it is shown in this video. The problem is that the town never changed from the times when it was a thriving destination and that already was 40 or 50yrs ago. Those people are old or dead now and because nothing happened to update the town it simply died off and there is no future for young people.

@stevo0861 10 месяцев назад

It's good to see your evaluation of Scarbados was favourable at the end of the video. I can assure you that Scarborough was not almost flattened during WW2. Did you not notice the plethora of Victorian buildings here and there? It was targeted in WW1 from the sea and the odd random building over a wide area was destroyed, including the barrack building at the castle.

ALL seaside towns are 'rough' to an extent. There is a facade that hides a lot. The way you spoke of the Grand and describing it as being 'run down'and then only showing the lovely well kept parts was quite amusing! I took the kids up to Scarborough a few years ago and we stayed at the Grand - The room we were given was what I'd imagine to have been on a par with Rudolph Hess's at Spandau. It was on the side of the steps and actually below step level - No windows so no 'view'. Another thing that drags seaside towns down is the strange migration of certain elements of society that flock to these places from the inland towns and cities. (As witnessed in this clip) Gotta feel for that elite athlete/fashonista who's only option for trainers was JD.

Rumour spawns rumour and RU-vid and Facebook are the vehicles for spreading them further. You can bet your life that many who are doing this very thing have never even been to Scarborough at all, but still rubbish it to other folk. Folk on here who describe it as a 'shit hole' are probably right in a funny sort of way - any place is a 'shit hole' if you've got no job and no money - and somewhere within that is the root of all the rumours. The place is a seaside town that's fallen out of fashion -just like Blackpool and others on the South coast and other places - but a 'Shit-Hole' it is not.

I like it too, but 'Scarbados' is a stupid name - just as Barrybados is. I know there's 'Skeg Vegas' but at least that has some logic behind it because of it having so many arcades. But these nicknames for resorts are best reserved for when they have an actual resemblance to a famous place, in another part of the world - such as Bournemouth being "Britain's Miami" or Aberystwyth being "The Biarritz of Wales".

Scarborough is a nice town with the advantage of been by the seaside. I am from Derbyshire and always found the Tykes to be friendly. It's much cheaper than Brighton probably half the cost for beer, coffee and meals I prefer it to say Skeggie, or Cleethorpes. Brid is OK aswell, but there is more to do in Scarborouth .

As a Midlander, with family near Scarb. I'd trade instantly, tbh. Yes, it's had (much) better days, but there's plenty going for it, even now. Only thing stopping me is the likelyhood of employment up there. The wider area is also a goldmine for exploration and natural beauty. But, granted, you'd need transport to see it. In contrast, the West Mids is an overbuilt, overpopulated, sprawling mess, with less and less to inspire as the years roll on. Your point about the relativity of what defines "rough" was interesting. I'm always hearing people from obviously comfortable backgrounds, talk about coming from "rough areas" which makes me laugh. Sometimes, you're more likely to be started on indiscriminately in a small-town, suburban place with boredom being the main currency. Whereas in a big inner city, the violence is seemingly a lot more gang-oriented, and - ironically - you're more likely to be ignored.

@johnanthonyp 10 месяцев назад

Good post. You make a lot of sense regarding the gang culture in cities like Brum. Most people aren't on their radar at all and given they live in a self-made, seemingly perpetual dog eat dog universe, I would imagine they spend a lot of their time looking over their shoulders, pre-occupied with their own welfare. I agree that you're more likely to fall victim to a drunken thug wanting to make a name for himself in some backwater town. It also seems to be largely governed by age with younger generations having goods on their person that are attractive to their criminally orientated equivalents. Outside of top of the range cars, that is. Even Tom Cruise with an entourage had his car robbed in Brum-ironically, when filming Mission Impossible.

My two are reactive and Norfolk is full of the Joules welly brigade who think it’s fine to let their dogs with no recall run up to mine and scare them 🙄 I took them down to South Bay on the Monday and they ran around for two hours without seeing another living creature, heaven for them 🙂 My only complaint is how much they hate motorhomes, yet refuse to define what one is. I got a parking ticket for parking a “motorhome” in the wrong place, even though my vehicle doesn’t comply with any legal definition of a motorhome, and was told I couldn’t appeal.

Thanks for sharing your time there. I grew up on the south coast and have heard so many varying opinions about Scarborough. There’s always good and bad in any village, town or city across the UK. So sad that generally places are made out to be so negative to live in, whether culturally or by the hands of time. My granddad was a Yorkshireman and every few years he went for his summer holidays there up until his late 60s. He loved it but remembered the halcyon days. He would walk around reminiscing each time. He would be so sad at the situation now if he was still alive. I would say to him that times change and things move on and hopefully Scarborough will one day come back to it’s best again. Like South Bay Bathing Pool. Not like he knew it but a modern up to date improvement on what it has become. We can only hope. Which ever way it goes there will always be the people who don’t like it be it a decaying town or an improved newer version.

The problem is that councils in the UK like to house a lot of unemployed benefit dwellers in the seaside resorts where there is a notorious lack of jobs. They needed to be housed somewhere where there are factories etc to get these people out working in, but instead they leave them sat around getting dependant on drink or drugs. Scarborough is a truly lovely place, its the alchies and junkies that create the dark cloud, they create the violence because they've nothing better to do. Scarborough didn't change, the kind of people living and roaming around there did - and no, i dont mean illegal immigrants because ive never seen any there despite what onr or two on here are trying to insinuate.

Really good. I'm from Brum too and in Scarborough's defence, there's a wonderful beach/coastal walk if you head away from the town. From my experience there, It seems not that many people go in that direction and it remains unspoilt. It always baffles me why the majority can't shake that instinctual need to cram themselves together. You eventually do become a product of your environment.

I feel that I must comment on this partially misleading video. I am a Scarborian and have lived here all my life. The report regarding Scarborough being bombed in the World War 2 is nonsense; Scarborough was shelled by the German Navy in December 1914 during World War 1, causing significant damage and some loss of life. Sadly, most communities in the UK now seem to include people with social problems, often caused by addiction and family breakdown; this report seems to target those with a negative attitude to life. I assure you that Scarborough is generally composed of generous-spirited, honest, hard-working and friendly people. I regularly ride my bike through Barrowcliff estate, encountering only friendly people. I suspect that some of the people featured are not Scarborians and as yet fail to appreciate its' natural beauty, fresh air and many amenities.

@@poshgentleman559 it's very difficult not to be judgemental when you see how damaged these people are. It's very sad that society seems to have given up on these people and cuts in social services doesn't help. If they had the funds thrown at them on a par with the money we spend on Illegal immigrants (which is £1,000 a day per person) minimum then they would have a better chance of turning their lives around. Our culture has suffered enough through the woke culture that currently exists and it would seem the powers that be won't be happy until the British culture is none existent. This country has been ruined by adapting our own culture to embrace others and their differences in religion it's a joke to be honest. When people adopt a country as their new home they should also embrace the culture of the country of choice and not expect it to alter to accommodate their wants and needs. It's bankrupting us and making the indigenous people turn racist and I think it's really gone too far. The indigenous people of this country have no rights and it's getting worse.

The Grand Hotel where I’ve worked many times was hit a few times during the war, especially the sixth floor. Jimmy Savile is still buried at Woodlands Cemetery only the headstone was removed. His coffin is under 3 tons of concrete because a rumour went around claiming he was buried in all his gold and they feared someone would dig him up and the guy who now lives in his flat is Sir Rodney Walker who was once vice chairman of the NSPC and chairman of the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, hence the statue which for some reason he painted gold, when he first put it there it was terracotta in colour.
