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.
