Pre War Scarborough. A Sedate Mode of Transport.

The first cab to be seen on the streets of Scarborough appeared in 1836. By early 1900s over 200 cabs, Landaus and Hansoms were plying their trade. A feature of the seasons was the jockey carraige with the drivers dressed in silk blouses and racing colours.
