Capitol, Scarborough

The Capitol is a historic building in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, a town in England. The building was designed by Edwin Sheridan Evans and constructed between 1928 and 1929. It opened as a variety theatre with a fly tower, orchestra pit, dressing rooms and 2,100 seats, but was principally used as a cinema. In the 1970s, it was renamed as the "Classic Cinema", but this closed in 1977, and it was converted into a Mecca Bingo hall. The building was grade II listed in 2000. Closure of the club was announced in November 2025. The building has a steel frame, the front is in white faience, on a plinth, and the other walls are in brick. Above the central entrance is a canopy and there are four more entrances with moulded surrounds and keystones. Above the main entrance are three tall round-headed windows, over which is a pediment with a coved cornice and a cartouche. At the top is a decorated frieze with central lettering. The interior retains much of its original decoration, including the proscenium arch with ornamental ironwork either side and a Classical frieze above. There is a barrel-vaulted ceiling. The original organ has been removed, and the former cafe at balcony level has been converted into an additional foyer.

Stephen Joseph Theatre

The Stephen Joseph Theatre is a theatre in the round in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England that was founded by Stephen Joseph and was the first theatre in the round in Britain. In 1955, Joseph established a tiny theatre in the round on the first floor of Scarborough Library. The theatre flourished and in 1976 moved to a supposedly temporary home on the ground floor of the former Scarborough Boys' High School. However, a permanent home proved difficult to find and it was not until late 1988 and the closure of the local Odeon cinema by Rank Leisure that the theatre's long-standing Artistic Director, Alan Ayckbourn, found a suitable venue. Ayckbourn launched a £4 million appeal to transform the old cinema with a view to opening it up in 1995. The new theatre, known simply as the Stephen Joseph Theatre, opened in 1996 and comprises two auditoria: The Round, a 404-seat theatre in the round, and The McCarthy, a 165-seat end-on stage/cinema. The building also contains a restaurant, shop, and full front-of-house and backstage facilities. The Round boasts two important technical innovations: the stage lift, facilitating speedy set changes, and the trampoline, a Canadian invention which allows technicians particularly easy access to the lighting grid. It is also the place where the image used for the cover of Richard Hawley's album Coles Corner was taken.

The station is also at the northern end of the Yorkshire Coast line and is reputed to have the longest station seat in the world at 456-foot (139 m). From 1907 until 2010, the station approaches were controlled from a 120-lever signal box named Falsgrave; this is sited at the outer end of platform 1 and close to the former excursion station at Scarborough Londesborough Road. In its final years, Falsgrave box controlled a mixture of colour-light and semaphore signals, including a gantry carrying 11 semaphores. The signal box was decommissioned in September 2010 and the gantry was dismantled and removed in October 2010. Its new home is at Grosmont railway station, on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. The new signalling is a relay-based interlocking with two- and three-aspect LED signals controlled from an extension to the existing panel at nearby Seamer. Simplification of the track layout and major renewals took place at the same time.
