on a semircular bay, and rises from the shore in the
form of an amphitheatre. On the N. the bay is pro-
tected by a high promontory, on which stands the castle
(1136), formerly a fortress of immense strength; it was
twice besieged by the Parliamentary forces during the
Civil AYar. The newer and the older parts of the town,
separated by a chasm, are connected by a bridge 414 ft.
long. Scarborough is much frequented for sea-bathing
and for its mineral waters, which have long been in re-
pute. The Spa has beautifully laid-out grounds and a
fashionable promenade. The harbour is of great im-
portance to the coasting trade, being used as a place of
shelter from the easterly gales, and attention has been
paid to it from an early period. On St Vincent Pier is
a lighthouse 56 ft. high, with fixed light 58 ft. above
high water and seen 13 miles. There is a floating dock
for the repair of ships. Some foreign trade is carried
on with France, Holland, and the Baltic, and a con-
siderable coasting trade with the Tyne and the Tees.
(For shipping statistics, see Appendix.) Shipbuilding,
rope and sail-cloth making are carried on, and the
fisheries are actively prosecuted. The mfr. of jet orna-
ments has risen to be an important industry. The fine
old church of St Mary was built in the reign of Stephen.
