bridlington

Bridlington is a town in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It has a population of 32,000. 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 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. Bridlington is served by the Bridlington Free Press, and Yorkshire Coast Radio broadcasts from the town. The MP for Bridlington is Greg Knight (Conservative) who represents the East Yorkshire constituency.
