    Hi Nick & Jill What a treat getting an extra video this week ♥️ and how lovely to see what's not on the seafront of this lovely town. It's like a behind the scenes peep at the real life and I have to say I'm very impressed. I love those greens around the priory, which itself looks magnificent. Then into the more built up areas with interesting architecture of both bow & bay windows which lend themselves to the Dickensian theme. The shops... gosh so many, all looking well cared for and entering into the spirit of the day. Credit goes to all the musicians too with their jolly performances. Bridlington Old Town & Heritage Trail, well done, fabulous little town and many thanks to you two for showing it to us 🤗🤗♥️♥️xx

    Beautiful tour of Bridlington, Jill and Nick. Lovely Priory and quaint town. I believe you've brought us here before, (was happy to see at the end several times) but we loved seeing it again at Christmas time. No bah humbugs from us! Loved passing by the band and hearing the music several times. In fact that was us dancing in the street near the end! Thanks for bringing us along.

    Hi Nick and Jill we love walking tour videos the sippets of conversation and random sounds are great. Some really nice shop fronts was interesting that some had original frontages they look better but looked like they have condensation issues. Loved the people who had dressed up. Wow the organ sounded great . Interesting that the old town was used for the dads army film it certainly looks the part. Thanks for taking us along (we loved the little white dog 🐕) A big 👍 Take care Dave and Dawn ❤

    Up that road the old High Street past the convent there was a chemist that my mother used to go to them as a small boy . It had two large flasks that looked a bit Oriental and they were in the window I went into the shop a few years ago and the shopkeeper said that one of them are collapsible gone to the window they must’ve had a few gallons in them I was born in the old Hospital quite a bit further out it was a different place in those days😊
