This enthuiastic and dedicated group would perhaps be a closer and easier place to store records, given the fact that both Scarboro and Whitby share the same maritime history?
They also have an excellent geneology section too.
The HQ is in Eastboro Scarboro, and visitors are made welcome.

rymer thompson, an unusual name, but I did buy a house of a rymer thompson in Scarboro in 1963. he was in the business of buying and selling property after giving them a lick of paint etc.
Could be one of yours perhaps? He was an oldbloke at the time and very hard of hearing.
I seem to recall him living in Cromwell Road Scarboro

There was a welder/blacksmith in Quay st, in the mid 1960s, and he did have an american wife.
His name was Bob Goodall and his wife was Harriet,
 Harriet was an able welder who, I was told, learned her skills welding liberty ships during WW2.
They worked from the premises now occupied by Northern Marine Electrics.
tinner sam worked from behind the Ivy House.
The Fley Cammish's connect into our tree tho 5 generations back.

I remember a  tinsmith in Quay st in the early/mid 1950s, called "Tinner Sam" Cammish, and among other things such as "duck lamps"was noted for making very primitive but effective bilge pumps. What was his workshop premises are still there.

Chapel yard was off Chapel road, which was between Cross st. and Queen street. In the area that is now between what is now Boyes and the council houses.
There was a  chapel up there that burnt down in the great fire of Feb 26 1915, and which also destroyed Boyes Remnant Store.

Yorkshire (North Riding) / Re: Any info on these Pubs in Scarborough?

only the Shakespear remains as a pub in the traditional sense.

the County is now shops

the Plough is now the Waterhouse, and bears no resemblance to its former appearance, having been at one time a lapdance club. It had a unique feature in that fixed to the bar was a permanantly lit cigar/cigarette lighter, fuelled by mains gas in the form of a figure of Punch, as in Punch and Judy.

the plough in the link from jane1 is a different pub altogether, to the one you refer too.
