Information

Note the fire surround which are adorned with semi-precious stones, all collected from the beaches between Filey and Whitby. A piece of shrapnel from the bombardment is displayed on the cabinet in this room. The painting hanging by the doorway ‘Remember Scarborough’, by Edith Kemp-Welch, was suggested by the bombardment of Scarborough. It was presented by Miss Kemp-Welch to the Mayor and Corporation on 13th December 1915 and was later reproduced as a recruiting poster. There are also portraits of John Woodall and John W Woodall hanging in this room.
