First edition of A Place of Great Importance: Scarborough in the Civil Wars by Jack Binns, published by Carnegie Publishing in 1996.
This detailed study examines Scarborough's crucial strategic role during the English Civil Wars, tracing the town's military, political and social history from the early seventeenth century through the Restoration. Drawing on extensive primary sources, the author covers the sieges of Scarborough Castle, the town's changing loyalties, and the wider impact of the conflict on Yorkshire and the nation.
Illustrated with contemporary maps, photographs and plans, this is an important reference work for students and collectors of English Civil War history.
