NOW WE'RE OFF TO BRID!

 I left you in a caravan park. Now we're going upmarket, to Butlins Holiday Camp near Filey, to the south of the town. It had its own railway station and here it is on the opening day in 1947.

BR trains were met by Butlins own transport conveying campers and their luggage to their chalets..

Here's an aerial view of the holiday camp.

"Sunshine Chalets".

There was a chair lift down to the beach. Everything has gone now.

In nearby Hunmanby was the depot of Primrose Valley Coaches, with a variety of buses and coaches.

This is Hungate in Hunmanby village.

Hunmanby station is still open. Here it is in NER times.

Inland a bit now, to Wold Newton and the large Anvil Arms.

Not too far away is Bempton and the unique White Horse pub, with its blue tilework.

A dodgy customer outside of the pub!

The area around Flamborough Head is well known for its cliffs and wildlife. This is an old postcard of North Landing and a similar view in 2001.

A narrow inlet at North Landing.

The area safe for boat landing at Flamborough Head.

Here's a nice postcard view of Flamborough Head.

East Yorkshire Motor Services' Leyland National no. 180 passes the old lighthouse near Flamborough Head which was built in 1674.

EYMS open top buses have been known to reach Flamborough village.

Appleby's also ran into the village.

The Ship Inn is a pleasant pub to visit and is the first one of this post that opens all day, every day.

The Seabirds is also worthy of a stop-off. Check opening times.

Flamborough railway station was a long way from the village centre and was an early casualty. Here are the remains. The line used to be double track.

Now to the northern outskirts of Bridington, where we find the busy Marine Bar.

We could get the land train into the town centre.....

......but, instead, we'll head inland to the Old Town, where we find the Bull & Sun. Sadly, no real ale these days.

Never mind, the Pack Horse is still open, in the Old Town Market Place. It no longer sells Burtonwood beers, but now dispenses local ales. WARNING. Drunks will be placed in the stocks.

We'll take a good look at Bridlington town centre in the next post. Here's where we've been so far.
