Viewed from Long Greece Steps, this car park is on the site of Scarborough's first gas works. The gas works were started in the 1830s but in 1875 moved to a site near Seamer Road alongside the railway line. In the 1830s coal would have come in by sea. The gas works buildings then had various uses including an ice house for the fishing trade but were finally demolished in the early 1970s and this car park created.
