Comments on map:
In A.R. Hope Moncrieff, Black's Guide to Scarborough & Whitby..., London: Black, 1899, f.p.65. The omission of a scale is uncharacteristic of Bartholomew, although comparison with Ordnance Survey 1:63,360 suggests that the planimetry may be a bit dodgy towards the edges. A rather minimal-looking map.
