This revised edition of the story of the wonderful town of Filey on the Yorkshire Coast includes additional stories including 'who put Filey Brigg up for sale' and the story of Filey's Dragon-together with the endearing story of Bonzo Filey's Pet Seal. Filey 'The Unspoilt Hidden Gem of The Yorkshire Coast' with its glorious wide golden beach, elegant Victorian houses and well-kept gardens, but what were Filey's origins? Unlike the neighbouring town of Scarborough, Filey was mentioned in the Domesday Book 'as a very small village occupied by less than fifty people, and that Filey was worth a reasonable income, with access to good quality timber which was ideal for construction.' So, were these people Filey's oldest residents? Filey a History of The Town and its People traces the history of the town from Roman times through time. It tells the history of the town's churches and the influence that the Methodist had on the community. The book also warns of the dangers of the sea, and its treacherous tides, and recalls stories of many people who have lost their lives to the sea over the years. It also recalls the story of The Bonhomme Richard and its notorious Captain John Paul Jones. The book is illustrated with over one hundred photographs.

I'd like to add that Filey is nothing like Scarborough or Bridlington - be prepared to be surprised. I mean that genuinely! In this the fifth in "The Town In A Day" series that there's an awful lot more to Filey than meets the eye! And that's apart from a haunted Butlin's, parkin eating dragons, sea monsters and vicious murders! If you've visited Scarborough or Bridlington then you probably think you've got a decent idea of what the Yorkshire coast is about. Think again! Possessing an unusual history going back at least until the Roman occupation, Filey poses some interesting questions. Was Filey a major Roman settlement? Can you think of another town that has a hole in its history between the time of The Black Death and the 1820's? Were there two Filey's? The author truly can't answer these questions because Filey is as enigmatic as its wave and weather sculpted clay cliffs. A great deal of old Filey and its past has been lost to the North Sea. However, it is undoubtedly a place that has the power to really kick start one's imagination. Good humored and informative, "Filey - The Town In A Day" will introduce you to a wonderfully preserved Victorian seaside resort possessed of more than a few surprises up its sleeve.
