Behind the camera there is a modern playground close to the new Sainsbury's store, but here there is a good old-fashioned grass slope that children love running up and down. To encourage that there is a wooden carving of an alligator/crocodile at the top of the hill, which warrants investigation. For a close up see Image In the background is the bridge that continues to carry Wykeham Street over the dismantled railway line from Scarborough to Whitby, now a long distance trail.
