Scarborough Castle is a former medieval Royal fortress situated on a rocky promontory overlooking the North Sea and Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England. Wikipedia
Been going through some old images and deleting some I wont use, and came across this shot unedited, so give it the black & white treatment, I quite like it, back in April 2017
Scarborough Castle stands on a massive headland of rock which has been inhabited for nearly 3,000 years. Ringed by cliffs and the sea, this naturally defensible site has been fortified many times over the centuries. The harbour at Scarborough has also served as an important gateway to the whole of north-east England.
The keep was built between 1158 and 1164 by order of King Henry II. It had a basement and three floors above, and its angles were carried up as turrets to a total height of about 100 feet. The west wall was demolished by order of Parliament in 1649.
The castle is placed in the care of English Heritage.

Ready for putting to sea on the mornng tide. The inshore fishing boats and the larger vessels of the local fishing fleet moored at the West Pier,Scarborough.
The bigger of the brick buildings on the wharf is the fish market where sales of the local catch are held before being sent all over the country.
I wonder how many people have noticed the character on the wharf reading the sign on the wall!
