Site of the Castle Road Gaol
Looking across the junction of St Thomas Street with Castle Road towards the site of the old Castle Road Gaol. The gaol was built around 1840 after the one in Newborough Bar became unfit. However, the Castle Road Gaol was also easy to break out of and was itself closed in 1866. The prisoners were then transferred to the Dean Road Gaol, which still stands on part of the council depot site. The old gaol building, which once stood on the site shown here, served as a police station and court house until 1971 when it was demolished following the creation of new police and court buildings in Northway. There is an interesting website about the Scarborough gaols: http://www.scarboroughjail.co.uk/index.html
The section of stone wall at the back of the car park carries a blue plaque claiming that it is a remnant of the old town wall of 1484 - the time of Richard III.

Fragment of town wall
This wall between the North Terrace car park and the YMCA contains a small fragment of the Newborough defences. The Newborough defences were improved by Richard III by replacing what was probably a palisade by a stone wall. Archaeological excavations by the local archaeological society have shown that the stone work here is part of that wall; the only visibly surviving fragment.
