Forty years ago in 1983, the calendar Ayckbourn’s Scarborough was published with Alan Ayckbourn’s witty captions accompanying photos by Michael Stead. To celebrate its discovery in the Ayckbourn Archive and 40th anniversary, the photographs and captions are being reproduced each month on this blog.

Scarborough Harbour

I love walking and I always include the harbour when I do my longer (150 yard) walk.

This is a unique picture taken of the Great Boat Robbery.
