The Diving Belle which is on Vincent's Pier has a stunning location just next

to the Lighthouse, represents  the energy of Scarborough driving forward her future in the twenty-first century.

The Bathing Belle (below) brings the history of Scarborough as the first sea-bathing resort in the UK into the town centre's main shopping street, Westborough, outside the Brunswick Centre.

Valley Road Gates

The new Valley Road Gates have now been hung on the restored pillars; we have now reached the end of this project to restore this important feature of the Valley Gardens.  The Civic Society has been able to provide the gates following a fundraising campaign, led by Linda Faunt, and the award of a £500 grant towards the cost by the Yorkshire Gardens Trust.  As part of the first ever Civic Societies Week, a team of enthusiasts from the Society painted the gates, and on Saturday 27th June the Mayor of Scarborough, Councillor Eileen Vickers, accepted the gates on behalf of the town. The gates were made by blacksmith James Godbold and the pillars restored by Scarborough Borough Council.
