"Nay, I've bin farther nor Bridlington," he replied, and the old merry twinkle, that I knew so well and had missed so long, came into his eyes. "What do you mean?" I asked. "Have you been on board one of the Wilson liners in the Humber and crossed over to Holland?" "Farther nor Holland," he replied, with a chuckle. "I've bin to heaven.
All Yorkshire was reduced to abject terror, and Edward's hosts, the canons of Bridlington, removed with all their valuables to Lincolnshire, and sent one of their number to Bruce at Malton to purchase immunity for their estates. After a month the Scots went home, leaving famine, pestilence, and misery in their train.
Scarborough's ower classy for t' likes o' Mary an' me; it's all reight for bettermy-bodies that likes to dizen theirselves out an' sook cigars on church parade. But me an' t' owd lass allus go to Bridlington. It's homely, is Bridlington, an' you're not runnin' up ivery minute agean foreign counts an' countesses that ought to bide wheer they belang, an' keep theirsens to theirsens."
One winter night my eldest son, who lives about a mile away, went out to post a letter at midnight. After dropping his letter in the pillar-box, he was surprised to hear a voice say, "Will you kindly show me the way to Bridlington?" "Bridlington! why, it is more than two hundred miles away."

Our stay at Bridlington lasted three weeks.
In 1309 Simon Constable, a refractory canon of Bridlington, was sent to Guisborough to undergo a course of penance, change of residence being always considered to give an excellent opportunity for thorough reform.
The Names and Partes of 4 or 5 Gates yet remaine. We cannot help wondering why Richmond could not have preserved her gates as York has done, or why she did not even make the effort sufficient to retain a single one, as Bridlington and Beverley did.
One morning, while passing on foot along the coast-wall from Bridlington to Flambro', on turning my eyes from the sea, I was confronted by a thing which for a moment or two struck me with the most profound astonishment.

In another moment the duke and the official returned, followed by Sancho, a large Bridlington terrier, still bristling and snarling at the official. Fay called the dog to her, and held it forcibly, pretending to caress it. "No one has gone by that way," said the delegato to the duke. "The dog proves that." "Sancho proves it," said the duke gravely. As he spoke he paused as if suddenly arrested.
