EAST CLEVELAND SCARECROW FESTIVAL
Guisborough
Picture
Guisborough, once in the North Riding of Yorkshire, was part of the County of Cleveland in 1974–1996 and is now in the unitary authority of Redcar and Cleveland.

Some archaeologists date the town to the Roman occupation, when it may have been a military fortification. Discovery of a few Roman artefacts support this. Gighesbore is recorded in the Domesday Book. The ruined Gisborough Priory dates from the 12th century.
Guisborough market, held every Thursday and Saturday with a few stalls on Tuesday, has long been a focal point for the surrounding area. Originally selling cattle and other livestock, the market developed into a general market for fruit and vegetables, clothing and flowers. It is open from early morning to late afternoon on the recently restored cobbles of Westgate, the principal shopping street.
