Bridlington Central and Old Town

About

Bridlington Central and Old Town ward forms the historic core of this East Yorkshire seaside town. The area encompasses the working harbour, a functional mix of retail outlets along the main thoroughfares, and a dense residential network of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing. The focus is the seafront, lined with amenities catering to visitors, while the operational fishing and leisure port provides a constant backdrop of maritime activity.

At its heart lies the Old Town, a distinct conservation area set slightly inland from the modern centre. Here, the medieval street pattern remains, focused around the Priory Church of St. Mary. This area contains a concentration of independent shops and older architecture, offering a contrast to the busier seafront. The annual Bridlington Old Town Christmas Market utilises these historic streets, drawing crowds to the narrow lanes.
