More about this scene

Bridlington was within easy reach of trippers from Yorkshire's industrial heartland; its population of 13,000 more than doubled during the holiday period. During the summer season, a coach plied between Bridlington and Scarborough via Filey; fares were 8/- return and 5/- one way. This beautiful hall was destroyed by fire in 1932, but within just five months a replacement had been built. The railway arrived here from Hull in 1846, and brought with it visitors from all over Yorkshire.

50's 60's Holidays
i used to go to Brid every year in the early 50s - early 60s . One of the highlights was going on the boats in the small boating lake - although we weren't supposed to 'bump' we often did although unintentionally - there was also a small ride-on railway next to it - many happy hours over the years i spent on both those rides - and a machine nearby where you could print out your name etc. on a strip of aluminum - such simple pleasures but treasured memories of my now deceased parents

Memories Of Early 60's Holidays
We used to come here every year from me being around 6 month old and I stopped when I was 17. We also used to stay in Mr Josef Jamroz's holiday flats on Bridge St opp Marks and Spencers. The final year I went he wasn't there anymore, he'd sold up and we were told he'd gone back to Poland due to ill health. Often wonder what happened to him and where he went.

Happy Times At Limekiln Lane Camp
Happiest memories are when our family would be in Bridlington at the caravan my grandad had. Bridlington will always be my favourite place.

Holidays In Bridlington In 1950''s
When I was a child my parents use to take my sister and I to Bridlington on the train from Hull for 2 weeks holiday a year. It was magic land to us. My dad was born and brought up in Flamborough but moved to live in Hull during the war years. So our holidays in Bridlington were very much a part of our lives during our formative years. We use to play on the sands with our bucket and spades. ...see more

Genealogy & Research Images

Despite over 20 years’ work on the archive, these scans have still not been individually checked and may prove to be damaged, faded, or not of sufficient quality to ever be offered in our full product range. However, if you would particularly like to buy one of these please get in touch quoting the Frith negative number,(s) the town name and size of print you would like to buy. On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.

What is an Album?

An album is a way to save a selection of Frith photos, maps and memories that are of interest to you.

Creating an Album enables you to make short lists and then make a final selection from the album. In particular it makes ordering things like calendars much easier - simply create an Album of the 12 photos you like and then use the Album when placng your order - our order process will give you this option.

You can create as many Albums as you want, so perhaps make one for your hometown, where you live now, where your parents live now etc.
