Hidden behind the shops and fine house of the High Street, in Bridlington's Old Town, in Victorian days were the homes of the poor. Come and listen to a talk about these historic Yards and the people who lived in them.

The Yards behind High Street and Market Place have in the main been repurposed through development over the years. However a few still remain and some were lived in until relatively recent times. What were the daily lives of their residents like? How did they earn a living, spend their leisure time and what were their attitudes to the events that shaped their lives?

Come along to this illustrated talk and find out more. There will also be a historical display available.
