Bridlington is one of the major towns along the Holderness coast and within the East Riding of Yorkshire, with a population in 1991 of 32,163. The town provides a large range of facilities and services to the area although it still functions largely as a tourist destination. In recent years the council has sought to widen the employment base of the town by encouraging industrial development on the Bessingby and Carnaby Industrial Estates. The East Coast railway, which first led to the growth of Bridlington as a tourist resort in 1845 is still running, providing quick travel to the main stations of Hull and York. The popularity of Bridlington as a place to retire is reflected in the large proportion of elderly people who live in the town (HRWLP, 1999).
