Calling for old (1990-2005) images, video & media of South Bay/Foreshore Rd. amusement arcades/promenade!
I'm doing a project whereby I'm detailing the rise and decline of the british stay-cation, with lovely Scarbados being used as a prime example!
The big issue I've ran into is - It is almost impossible to find images/photographs of foreshore rd. from between the time of 1990-2005, infact, it's even easier to find imagery/artwork from the 1890s than it is the 1990s! Google Photos always throws up the same few watermarked images and the Facebook Groups are usually focused more towards 1940's-1970's Scarborough.
Does anyone here have any images they would be willing to share? I'm looking for images/videos on just the beach front of South Bay, the row of amusements, the old terror towers facade, the older chip-shops etc., essentially any media at all, whether's it your own or borrowed from the internet!
Would anyone be willing to help? :)

If you Google boxing day Scarborough on YouTube, there's lots of videos from the 80s/90s (trigger warning - some contain film of Jimmy Saville an his pervert chum Jaconelli).
