From 1847 to 1933 a building complex known as the Victoria Rooms
stood overlooking Bridlington harbour in East Yorkshire. In the 86
years it stood tall it was used for both entertainment, leisure and
as the Town Hall, being given royal status in 1888 after a visit
from the Duke of Clarence. But it was the drama of the building's
final demise in September 1933 that made this grand building hit
the headlines. A huge fire and some heroic deeds by the local
residents meant that no lives were lost that eventful night. Now
for the first time in the history of the Royal Victoria Rooms a
book tells the story of the life and times of this iconic
structure. Richard M. Jones is a historian who has put up six
plaques to forgotten disasters around the UK and followed them up
with books telling those stories. A serving member of the Royal
Navy, he divides his time between Bridlington and Hampshire.
