BRIDLINGTON, YORKSHIRE

Bridlington is a town in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It has a population of over 32,000 (expanding greatly in the summer months) and is twinned with Millau, France and Bad Salzuflen, Germany.

It is a seaside resort and minor seaport on the North Sea. It lies just south of the promontory of Flamborough Head.

The town grew up a mile away from the sea around the abbey of Bridlington Priory. A small harbour and fishing port, known as Bridlington Quay, grew up where the Gypsey Race runs into the sea. Here in 1643 Queen Henrietta Maria landed with troops to support the Royalist cause in the English Civil War. Bridlington's first hotel was opened in 1805 and it soon became a popular holiday resort for industrial workers from West Yorkshire. Bridlington's popularity has declined with the industrial north and the popularity of cheap foreign holidays. In its heyday, though, it was a leading resort witha nationally famous dance venue at the Spa.
