Freddie Gilroy and the Belsen Stragglers

Freddie Gilroy and the Belsen Stragglers is a statue by sculptor Ray Lonsdale which overlooks North Bay of Scarborough, England. Made from weathering steel, the sculpture depicts Freddie Gilroy, a former soldier who participated in the liberation of Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, sitting on a bench in his old age. Gilroy was a friend of the sculptor and Lonsdale made the piece partly as a tribute to him, but also as a wider war and Holocaust memorial. Originally intended to sit on the seafront as a 4-week loan in 2011, a local resident donated money to purchase the sculpture for the town.

Clifton Hotel, Scarborough

The Clifton Hotel is a small, late Victorian hotel in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England. The hotel stands on the North Bay cliff tops and was home to soldiers on home duty during both the First World War and Second World War. The location of the building offers good views of the North Sea. During the First World War, the hotel was known as the Clarence Gardens Hotel and was home to Wilfred Owen, soldier and war poet, who wrote many of his early war poems while on service and the single occupant of the "turret rooms" for an office and bedroom; now known as bedrooms 493 and 367. A heritage trail blue plaque marks the site today. The hotel is a short distance from Saint Mary's Church and the grave of Anne Brontë. In January 2026, the hotel was grade II listed for its Wilfrid Owen connection, with the listing stating it "as a good representative example of a classical, stucco-fronted Victorian seaside hotel with principal elevations of rhythmic canted-bay windows, a late-C19 multi-facetted corner tower where Wilfred Owen’s rooms were situated, and good-quality historic interior."
