Bridlington Messenger was published to raise money for local charities, and over £360 was distributed locally. The whole thing is a spoof. Not one line of news is true. The advertisers paid a small fee, just enough to pay the print bill. All copies were either sold on 1st April 2006 or given to local charity shops.

You can read the whole thing elsewhere on this site.

The Talbot Times was conceived during one of our volunteer stays at Talbot House. The material was provided by staff at the House and advertising covered the cost of production. Copies are available for sale at the House.

We attempted to produce a newspaper we felt Tubby Clayton would have welcomed had he had access to modern desktop publishing. We also tried to use the humour which is to be found throughout The Wipers Times, published during World War One.

Memories of my childhood have been used to tell stories of life at the end of the Second World War and thereafter. Most of the tales are true and are part of my life, others are created to help show how kids think.

My Bridlington was put together in about three weeks at the beginning of 2008. A comment was made that Historical Sketches of Bridlington had no pictures in it. I asked: "Do people want pictures of old Brid?" and the answer was a definite yes. So here it is. 132 pages, A5. All black and white illustrations inside, mostly three to a page. It's packed with stuff. 375 photos in total, plus some newsy pieces about Brid's history. And a few questions which may upset certain parties.
