Wilsons, 6 West Sandgate, Scarborough
Image: © Jo and Steve Turner Taken: 31 May 2021
Grade II Listed building dated 1692 but significantly altered around 1900. Formerly the Leeds Hotel the late 19th or early 20th century restoration was reportedly to a design by Frank A Tugwell. As I can find no West Sandgate in early directories it seems it may have previously been part of St Mary's Street. The only inn or tavern I can find listed in 1823 is the Star and Garter and in 1893 the Leeds Arms but by 1913 we have listed "Bruce Fred, Leeds hotel, St. Mary's street". Between June 2013 and October 2014 it changed from the Leeds Hotel to Wilsons. What had been The Hole in the Wall (Scarborough) Ltd. changed its name to G & T Naylor Pub Co. Ltd. when the current occupants moved here in mid 2018 from the Hole in the Wall.
