BRIDLINGTON

We're still in the Old Town, where the Priory is situated.

As we walk towards Bridlington's railway station and centre, we happen across the Old Ship Inn.

Nearby is the Telegraph, with proper Yorkshire beers (it used to brew its own).

You won't get Bentley's beer at the New Inn these days.

Now to the railway. NER no. 1525 is seen in the station.

NER 2-4-0 locos are "on shed" circa 1918.

Until recently, Bridlington station was controlled by mechanical signalling worked by South box.

Quay Crossing signal box, at the other end of the station, succumbed soon after this photo was taken in 1997.

A pair of Pacers pass each other in Bridlington station in 1997.

Arriva was operating the service in 2002.

By 2014, Northern had taken over.

Bridlington station has some historic buildings.

Sadly, the Station Buffet, has since closed, hopefully not for ever.

There was once another railway in 'Brid' (Photographer unknown).

Down by the beach, a 'water plane' is on show.

A postcard view of the harbour.

Sometime around 1955, a boatload of regulars from St Edmunds church, Doncaster, takes to the water.

Here's the harbour entrance.

The inner harbour.

East Yorkshire Motor Services (EYMS) had a depot in the town.

It's August 1963 and the bus station has plenty of EYMS 'Beverley Bar' vehicles (Les Flint).

EYMS no. 912, an ex Tynemouth Daimler Fleetline, is seen in Bridlington bus station in 1979.

Another former Tynemouth bus, converted to open-top, found in Bridlington depot.

EYMS coach 196, in National white, at the bus station in 1982.

More modern buses can be found in the hands of East Yorkshre these days.

The vehicles of West Yorkshire could also be photgraphed at Bridlington, on express services.

Appleby's once ran some local routes in the town.

There's a vintage vehicle rally arriving in town. Some unusual entrants are seen.

The rally terminated in a field by the beach. Entrants included Felix 41 from the Doncaster area, a Bristol RE in Economic colours and a rare Vulcan lorry.

That's it for this post. Next time, we'll be in rural East Yorkshire.
