Bridlington Fishing Families.
Fishing here had been to supply the local
area until the Railways arrived in 1846,
leading to a large number of Boats catching
vast amounts of Fish to supply much of England
and areas in Europe. Although over fishing led
to the decline of the White Fish industry in
the area in the mid 1900s, Bridlington is still
a major Shell Fish Port.
The North Beach runs towards Sewerby Cliffs
2 miles north. This is where Surfing began in
England after two Hawaiian Princes traveled to
England for education in 1890. The Princes
began using Bridlington North Beach for
Surfing, with locals soon having a go
themselves.

The Bayle Museum is
at the north end of the High Street at

Prison, and now a Museum covering the History
of Bridlington and Local Area.

the Gatehouse, built from the 1100s in the
Castle Complex. At over 400 feet long, it is
one of the most impressive Churches in
