History

The Guest house was built in 1897 on land owned by business woman Pricilla Marshall, who died at the age of 92 in 1899. She named the street Marshall Avenue, although until 1901 it was known as Marshall Street.  As the bricks to this building were being laid Queen Victoria celebrated her Diamond Jubilee year as Queen of England. The Tate Gallery was opened in London and Bram Stoker's published his novel Dracula.. Bridlington was a very  popular Victorian Seaside town.

Once built the Schofield Guest House was two residential dwellings, 47 was named the Glen Roy and 49 named the Glen Saxon. ( Both boarding houses)  Mrs Schofield purchased both properties and merged them into one in 1947, It was then renamed Schofield. This was just after the Second World War, food rationing was in place, loved ones were lost and Britain was being rebuilt. Schofield has now been trading as a Guest house since 1947. 

We lived in Tamworth, Staffordshire for all our lives.  We moved our family to Brid in the summer of 2016. Pauline was a Career Adviser for over 15 years working with teenagers of all abilities; Peter remains a Telecommunications Engineer covering the East coast. Together we have 4 children, Our oldest child lives near Scunthorpe working as a Chicken Farmer, 3 of our children live with us, attending local school, University and College. Our children help out over the weekends and are expert bed makers.

We took over the Business from Susan Lee who ran the guest house for many years with her husband Graham. When Graham passed away, running the Schofield single handed became tough. Susan sold the Guest House to ourselves and was very supportive in handing over the running of the business and is still on my face book for advice and support years later. So thank you Susan for all your support. We plan to run the Schofield for many years to come.

I have settled well into this delightful area, making many friends and have recently become a committee member of the Bridlington Tourist Association, to support other Guest House owners in the area, and in the strategic planning of events to encourage greater Tourism Brid. My husband in an active member of a local Bridlington Community Central Action Group to bring local people together to make positive changes to their communities. We are members of Priory Church, taking part in services and fund raising events. I also have an allotment, enjoyed growing organically and are busy planning for next season. My son is a member of Priory Choir, and takes Karate while my daughters  enjoy working at the Heart Foundation, Priory Girl Guides and competing in Bridlington Rugby club. We have settled well into Bridlington and hope to retire here ourselves.
