Talk - Curious Incidents in the history of Bridlington – By Carol Osgerby

Heritage Open Day: As one of the countries famous fishing ports, it has a rich and curious history, waiting to be told. Bridlington is a seaside resort with a burgeoning indoor fishing industry. It began as two towns with a variety of names, a magnificent priory and a local saint. This birthplace of artists, architects, and heroes saw innovation in diverse fields including industrial schooling, the protection of birds, surfing, whaling and political twins. The talk will include a number of events in a town which has been involved in conflicts, both national and international, and seen visits from Lawrence of Arabia and Mickey Mouse.
Carol Osgerby is an amateur historian who, as a retirement project, has created a daily online calendar of historical events in Hull and East Yorkshire on social media (www.facebook.com/HEYhistorycalendar and website https://hulleastyorkshistorycalendar.com)
