Road Development

The influx of holidaymakers with the development of the railways resulted in huge development of the infrastructure of Scarborough and a new road was built along the foreshore of the South Bay in 1879 and a new road (Royal Albert Drive) along the foreshore of the North Bay from Peasholm Beck to The Holms, completed in 1890. This however still left the two bays isolated from each other.

 In 1896 the Scarborough Council decided to link the two bays by the construction of a 1.300 yard link road, around the castle headland, to be known as Marine Drive, from the East Pier to Royal Albert Drive.
