The Alex - The Story of The Alexandra Hotel, Bridlington

The story of The Alexandra Hotel is a warm, affectionate and wide-ranging exploration of generous hospitality on the Yorkshire coast. Set in the context of the exciting turmoil of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and in the changing fortunes of Bridlington as a seaside resort in particular, it offers unexpected insights into people and events.

Jostling together we find royalty, a notorious serial killer, wealthy shipping magnates, pop stars, politicians, chancers, an inventor, courting couples and young kitchen staff. We are invited to investigate the mysteries of complementary medicine, suspicions of arson, the art of landscape design and public architecture, the fun of bathing huts and cocktail bars, and inspiring experiences only the seaside can bring.
