Another Street running off from Seamer Road. This street contains a mixture of residential uses.The area beyond the steel fence and gates is the site of Scarborough's first power station.Scarborough Corporation obtained powers in 1891 to supply electricity but in 1894 transferred those powers to the Scarborough Electric Supply Company. Construction of the power station commenced in February 1893 and supply of electricity started in August of that year. From 1904 the Scarborough Tramways Company was supplied. In 1925 Scarborough Corporation re-acquired the undertaking and on 1st April 1948 it was taken over by the British Electricity Authority when electricity undertakings were nationalised. Power now comes in from the national grid and there is nothing to see of the power station, the site is a small industrial estate.
