History

The guest house was built in 1897 on land owned by businesswoman Priscilla Marshall, who passed away 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 of this building were being laid, Queen Victoria was celebrating her Diamond Jubilee as Queen of England. The Tate Gallery opened in London, and Bram Stoker published his novel Dracula. At the time, Bridlington was a very popular Victorian seaside town.

Once built, the Schofield Guest House consisted of two residential dwellings: 47 was named The Glen Roy and 49 The Glen Saxon—both operating as boarding houses. In 1947, Mrs. Schofield purchased both properties and merged them into one, renaming it Schofield. This was shortly after the Second World War, during a time of food rationing, great loss, and the rebuilding of Britain. Schofield has been operating as a guest house since 1947.

We had lived in Tamworth, Staffordshire all our lives before moving our family to Bridlington in the summer of 2016. Pauline worked as a Careers Adviser for over 15 years, supporting teenagers of all abilities. Peter continues to work as a Telecommunications Engineer, covering the East Coast.

Together, we have four children. Our eldest lives near Howden, working as a chicken farm manager and raising our grandson. Our daughter lives in Middlesbrough and has just moved into her first home. Our youngest daughter is considering university after finishing college and currently works weekends at a local holiday park. Our son is still in school and helps out at the guest house on weekends.

We have settled well into this delightful area and have made many friends. Pauline is the Vice President of the Bridlington Tourist Association, supporting other guest house owners and contributing to the strategic planning of local events to boost tourism in Bridlington. My husband is an active member of a local Bridlington Community Central Action Group, which brings residents together to make positive changes in the community.

We also tend to an allotment, growing organically, and are currently planning for the next season. Our son enjoys dance and drama at the Spa Youth Group, while our daughter is a leader at Priory Girl Guides and Scouts.

We have truly settled into Bridlington and hope to retire here.
