Hilderthorpe -   Launching the lifeboat RNLI 12-22 AntonyPatrickJones based at Bridlington   Picture  by  © JThomas

My grandparents lived in Bridlington and I remember frequently seeing the lifeboat both in the boathouse and on practice launches from the beach. 

The William Henry & Mary King was based at Bridlington from 1967 to 1989. This is it being launched in a blizzard on 27 December 1968 to escort three fishing vessels into the harbour.Screenshot_20230327-234224_Drive.jpg.5d41f52a77c3c1b38d0b8f3657d20e77.jpg

 

And in retirement she is preserved as a play area at Drayton Park Primary School in London.
