Scarborough was heavily bombarded in 1914 and was severely attacked by enemy
aircraft in 1941, having been one of the Home Port fixed artillery defence
posts during the 1939-1945 War. What was formerly known as "Scarborough"
Cemetery consisting of two distinct portions divided by a road, has since
been recognised as two separate cemeteries, the older part in Dean Road, which
contains the Cross of Sacrifice erected after the 1914-1918 War, now being
called Dean Road Cemetery. The newer portion to the left of it, bounded by
Broadway on the north and Manor Road on the south, is known as Manor Road
Cemetery.
There are 93 burials relating to both the First and Second World Wars
in Scarborough's Manor Road Cemetery, of which 8 are of soldiers
ofthe Yorkshire Regiment.
