The East Yorkshire town of Bridlington has over 1000 years of
history. Starting off as two smaller settlements, built around the
mediaeval priory and the harbour, it was developed as a fashionable
resort in the 19th century and had merged into one town by the
early 1900s. Bridlington has seen its fair share of tragedies,
triumphs, special events and Royal visitors as well as been home to
some unique stories and characters, from the award of the very
first George Cross, the work of Lawrence of Arabia between the wars
and bombing raids of the Second World War, to the Great Gale of
1871, the burning of the Royal Victoria Rooms in 1933, a visit by
Queen Henrietta Maria and a lifeboat that goes back over 200 years.
In A-Z of Bridlington author Richard M. Jones reveals the history
behind Bridlington, its streets and buildings, industries and the
people connected with the town. Alongside the famous historical
connections, he includes some unusual characters, tucked away
places and unique events that are less well-known. It is fully
illustrated with photography and will appeal to all those with an
interest in this coastal Yorkshire town.
