Remember Scarborough.....

December 16th 1914.

At around about the same time as Kolberg was shelling Whitby, two other German battlecruisers, Von Der Tann and Derfflinger flung shells at Scarborough from the bay. 

Causing damage to the town and Castle (the Bastards). 

Killing civilians in the process, these were the first domestic casualties of the First War. 

Photos from The Crescent in Scarborough show blast damage from the attack still evident on the properties.
