On arrival, you are greeted with views from the house and garden across the north bay of Bridlington. Although it was built in the early 1700's, the hall was only opened to the public in 1936 when Bridlington Council purchased it. The hall itself houses an exhibition of souvenirs and mementoes relating to the world famous aviator Amy Johnson who came from Bridlington.
