Although it is not known when the area around Bridlington was first inhabited, based on archaeological evidence, this must have been in the Bronze Age. The discovery of Roman coins provides clues to the presence of Romans. The town appeared in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Bretlinton.
Today Bridlington is a seaside resort. It also serves as a fishing port from where shell fish are exported to France, Spain and Italy.

About this website
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
