Wilfred Owen at Scarborough.

Because my latest WIP 'Ellis' is set in Scarborough in the early 1900s, I've been looking through books about Scarborough in the past and to my delight, I discovered that the Great war poet Wilfred Owen spent some time there in 1917. He stayed at the Clifton Hotel

Do you know, Charlie, I included that link in the post but the wretched app wiped it off the draft. So me and that app have parted company. 😠

Yes, I was delighted to read about him being in Scarborough. I love that place and had many holidays there as a child. I think his spirit is still there.
