Past times IT may seem at first sight to be your archetypal seaside resort. Large Victorian hotels on the clifftops, amusement arcades on the seafront and donkeys on the beach. But Scarborough's origins go back more than a millennium to Viking times, and over the years it has seen everything from siege to naval bombardment. Aware that my parents weren't keen on touring stately homes, I knew how to sell the idea to them. We saw a Queen Anne Drawing Room, a Chippendale Library, a Georgian bedroom and a Palladian Hall and staircase, but there was no chance of us ever climbing the stairs or sitting in one of the finely-crafted chairs.
Pock is unique.
