BRIDLINGTON OLD TOWN | Tour of the CHARMING Old Town in Bridlington [Filmed in 4k]

BRIDLINGTON OLD TOWN is where we are at today, to have a walk down the High Street which was used as a filming location for the Dads Army Movie recently. Old Town Bridlington is like stepping back in time so come with me and let's explore together. Bridlington Old Town, located on the East Yorkshire coast, is a historic and charming area that stands in stark contrast to the more modern seaside resort of Bridlington itself. Its roots date back to the medieval period, and this rich history is evident in its well-preserved architecture, including the *Georgian and Victorian buildings* that line its narrow, cobbled streets. The area is centered around the magnificent **Priory Church of St Mary**, a beautiful example of Gothic architecture that has dominated the skyline for centuries. The Old Town's tranquil atmosphere, antique shops, and traditional pubs make it a popular destination for those seeking a more relaxed and historical experience away from the bustling seafront. The town's unique character and period charm have made it a sought-after location for film and television productions. Perhaps its most famous cinematic connection is to the 2016 film Dad's Army, a feature-length adaptation of the classic BBC sitcom. The Old Town was transformed into the fictional town of Walmington-on-Sea, serving as the backdrop for many of the film's scenes. Visitors can walk the same streets and see the buildings that appeared on screen, including the Town Hall which was used as the setting for the bank and a key meeting point for the Home Guard platoon. For fans of the movie, exploring the various Dad's Army filming locations offers a fun and nostalgic tour. The high street, with its distinctive bow-fronted shops, was a key setting for many of the exterior shots. A notable scene featuring the platoon marching through the town was filmed here, capturing the essence of a wartime community. Other specific locations, such as Westgate and High Street, were used to create the authentic period feel needed for the movie. The town's ability to convincingly portray a 1940s English village highlights its timeless appeal and well-preserved heritage, making it a living piece of history.
