I was assured that a trip to Scarborough for fish and chips was a must. I seem to remember being told this when I was young and used to visit our Scarborough up in Yorkshire, having been since also, I remember not being able to get anything but fish and chips! It was therefore with interest that I went to Scarborough WA.
It surprised me a lot. The whole waterfront had a similar atmosphere to ours. The beach was lovely, lots of people sat around enjoying themselves and swimming. Many young folk enjoying what was a bank holiday. There were shops along the seafront, fish and chip shops in abundance, hotels and entertainment. There was even a road called Peasholm Road. Strangely one of the main places in our Scarborough is Peasholm Park. It does make you think that perhaps the connections are stronger than you initially think. Did someone come out from Scarborough, England, settle in this area and name it after their home town, call the street a familiar name and maybe later on even start up a fish and chip shop!!
