'Living in the past. It's always said pejoratively, as if the past is necessarily inferior to the future, or at any rate less important; nobody's ever condemned for looking forward, only back. But the truth is that we live in the past, whether we like it or not. That's where our life takes shape. Somewhere ahead, however near or far, is the end. But behind, shrouded in clouds of forgetting, lies the beginning'. This book about Scarborough IS unashamedly about looking back from the first mention of Scarborough in 8000 BC to the present day. It is not a formal history; rather a miscellany of interesting facts culled from many sources stretching back over the years.
Autorenporträt
Author David Fowler is a Scarborian, who spent his career in banking. In 1994 he retired to his home town with his wife Eileen. His interests are many, but on a sunny day he likes nothing better than to wander down to the Clock Café on the cliffs beyond Scarborough's Spa. The cafe has panoramic views of the old town, the sea and the harbour - and lemon meringue pie to die for!
