Sketches at Scarborough, 1881. '1. The Esplanade; 2. On the Balcony; 3. A Gale; 4. On the Sands; 5. Moonshine; 6. Castle-building; 7. The Ball-Room; 8. Morning on the Spa...The Spa, with its medicinal wells of chalybeate and saline waters, gained the approving verdict of fashionable physicians in the last century; and the superior bathing conveniences afforded by a wide slope of smooth and firm sand, with the purest and freshest seawater, have in recent times attracted a yearly host of summer visitors, to seek the best kind of health-preserving natural refreshment. The promenades about this gay and lively pleasure-town, over its lofty bridge, 400 ft. in length, across the valley of the Millbeck, or upon the beautiful Esplanade, with its magnificent sea views, and the walks to the neighbouring heights which command a variety of marine and inland prospects, invite frequent agreeable exercise without undue fatigue. There is no lack of public entertainments, concerts of music, balls, and other means of social enjoyment...the North and South Sands afford such delightful opportunities for lounging, and so many amusing scenes to look at, that the visitor can spend a great part of his leisure hours, without any trouble, in a very agreeable manner'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
