Red Roofs and Masts

The red roofed buildings in the background make up one of the oldest parts of Scarborough, know locally as the 'Bottom End'. It is situated on the lower part of the hills upon which Scarborough is built, hence the name.

The church of St Mary's above the harbour and the old town was built in the 12th century. It is the resting place of of Anne Bronte, English novelist and poet, who died in Scarborough in 1849.

The yachts are berthed in the East Harbour by the lighthouse. As can be seen the tide is low revealing the rather muddy harbour bottom.
