General - Peasholm Park Scarborough

[britainsdecays]

Unless you've been to Scarborough you've probably never heard of Peasholm Park. They are currently demolishing the old boat house as it was dangerous. The Chinese gardens at the top never seem to be open so while the water is drained I got in. Bad idea was trying to walk across the pond bed, the mud was so deep my leg just sank and I almost got stuck. They made it easy to get around the big locked gate and up on to the bridge. I got some photos from the top looking down.

Must be well over 30 years since I was there

Nothing much has changed, I really don’t know why the Chinese gardens are never open, I’ve lived here for 20 years and can’t say I have ever seen it open. Let’s see what the council do with the old boat house, it was apparently sinking into the pond.

I go to Scarborough every Easter with my wife and kids (Cant believe I have just posted that on an exploring website; what an old twat I am becoming) and love Peasholm Park; I have been up 4 years in a row and the gardens were only open the first year. Is the Futurist Theatre still there and derelict? I remember the first time I went to Scarborough and thinking "Blimey, a few derps around here I would like to have a crack at if I didn't have the family with me!"

The futurist demolition has already started , they are doing all the preparations from what I can see. I’m itching for them to crack open those doors and windows . Tried to find a way in but it’s locked down... only a matter of time

I ended up on the narrow gauge railway just opposite last year with my lad while on holiday... nice to see it!

Love this place, live local and visit this and North Bay many times a year. Hadn't realised just how shallow the water was there.

Remember visiting the gardens as a kid, maybe 25 years ago.
