A NEW book, telling the tale of Yorkshire's coast as a holiday destination, has gone on sale in local shops.
The Golden Age of the Yorkshire Seaside, by Malcolm Barker, focuses on towns such as Filey, Scarborough, Redcar and Whitby before the television series Heartbeat or the replica of the Endeavour were attractions.
Pictures from archives never-before published help to illustrate chapters on bygone forms of travel, the old hotels and holiday camps, entertainment which used to be laid on for tourists, and even the storms which battered the harbours and cliffs. The book costs £9.99 and is available in Waterstones and WH Smith.
