Description: | Scarborough became a popular seaside resort after the health benefits of sea bathing were promoted here by a local doctor in 1660. Although bathing machines can be seen in the foreground of this photograph, the town?s earliest visitors would not have had this luxury. Naked bathing was initially promoted as the healthiest way of experiencing the sea. Scarborough made the headlines in 1993 after a landslide caused the Holbeck Hall hotel to fall into the sea.
