OUT & ABOUT - Edward Bawden map restoration

Unveiling of the restored Edward Bawden illustrated map of Scarborough.

I joined a host of other folks for the grand unveiling of the recently restored EDWARD BAWDEN illustrated map of Scarborough at the local library yesterday evening. The work was commissioned by hotelier Tom Laughton for the Pavilion Hotel in 1931. It was presented to the library when the hotel was sold in 1961. Recently the work had deteriorated badly and was under attack from silverfish.
