Thursday Flashback

Pictured is a scale model of Scarborough’s South Bay bathing pool.

The pool was the brainchild of Borough Engineer Harry W Smith and construction began in 1913 after the council purchased South Cliff gardens the previous year.

Despite the First World War the new attraction was completed for the 1915 summer season. Photo reproduced courtesy of the Max Payne collection.
