Grosvenor Crescent is contemporary with Albion Crescent, see Image i.e. built between about 1867 and 1872. It is also part of the Weaponness Estate laid out by Joseph Paxton and again the houses are built in white silica brick. In this case the central gardens are now a small public park but in the 19th century they would have been private gardens for the houses, surrounded by iron railings, not a hedge.

Three blocks of flats on Royal Avenue on the site of the former St Martin's School demolished in 1988 and shown inImage The entrance feature is the former entrance to the school; it is just seen in the extreme left of Image but as part of the redevelopment for the flats it was taken down brick by brick and relocated a few metres to the north in order to allow the formation of the drive. The flats are named after Sir Alan Ayckbourn, a Scarborough resident.

Albion Crescent was developed between about 1867 and 1872 and is one of several crescents on Scarborough's south cliff. It is probably part of the Weaponness Estate laid out for development by Joseph Paxton. The frontages of the houses are built in white silica brick. In the case of Albion crescent, what would be central gardens is occupied by St Andrews Church.

This is the former St Martin's C of E junior school on Royal Avenue. The school was opened in 1898 and designed by the Scarborough Architects Messrs Tugwell (Frank & Sydney Tugwell) in the Arts & Crafts style of which Frank Tugwell was a fine regional exponent. The photograph was taken in October 1988 just before the demolition of the school.

Royal Avenue is a tree lined street which runs down from Ramshill Road (junction it the foreground) to Valley Road. The terrace of white brick houses on the right is circa 1879-89 whilst the more eclectic buildings on the left are circa 1891-1901.

This view north along Ramshill Road is terminated by St Andrews United Reformed Church. This massive church in the gothic style built between 1864 and 1868 is known as 'The Cathedral of Non-conformism'. Ramshill Road was originally the road to Bridlington but from the mid 19th century it became a shopping and service street to meet the needs of the growing population on South Cliff. On the left typical 19th century shops and on the near right the former St Martin's Grammar School
