Download or read book Filey written by James J. Browne and published by . This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I'd like to add that Filey is nothing like Scarborough or Bridlington - be prepared to be surprised. I mean that genuinely! In this the fifth in "The Town In A Day" series that there's an awful lot more to Filey than meets the eye! And that's apart from a haunted Butlin's, parkin eating dragons, sea monsters and vicious murders! If you've visited Scarborough or Bridlington then you probably think you've got a decent idea of what the Yorkshire coast is about. Think again! Possessing an unusual history going back at least until the Roman occupation, Filey poses some interesting questions. Was Filey a major Roman settlement? Can you think of another town that has a hole in its history between the time of The Black Death and the 1820's? Were there two Filey's? The author truly can't answer these questions because Filey is as enigmatic as its wave and weather sculpted clay cliffs. A great deal of old Filey and its past has been lost to the North Sea. However, it is undoubtedly a place that has the power to really kick start one's imagination. Good humored and informative, "Filey - The Town In A Day" will introduce you to a wonderfully preserved Victorian seaside resort possessed of more than a few surprises up its sleeve.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: East Yorkshire is ripe with tales of fairy gold and illusive characters. The county's folklore is engrained in every port, cliff and bridge, passed on through whispered accounts of witches long dead, legends of strange creatures or the bawdy tales of adventuring heroes. Filey Brigg was once a dragon, the people of Skinningrove held a merman captive, and Eskdale's Beggar's Bridge holds a love story in its history. By night a mysterious traveller stalked Bowes Moor, with a shrivelled Hand of Glory in his grasp ...

Download or read book Toronto Sketches 11 written by Mike Filey and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2012-11-10 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mike Filey brings Toronto’s history and the stories of its people and places to life. Mike Filey’s column "The Way We Were" first appeared in the Toronto Sunday Sun not long after the first edition of the paper hit the newsstands on September 16, 1973. Now, almost four decades later, Filey’s column has enjoyed an uninterrupted stretch as one of the newspaper’s most widely read features. In 1992 a number of his columns were reprinted in Toronto Sketches: "The Way We Were." Since then another nine volumes have been published, each of which has attained great success. Included in this latest compilation are stories about the controversial, though not altogether new, improvements to the TTC’s St. Clair streetcar route, as well as accounts of such fondly remembered gasoline brands as Joy, B-A, and White Rose. Then there are those popular Great Lakes passenger ships that carried thousands to such "foreign" ports as Lewiston and Rochester in New York State. Recounting the unforgettable Toronto snowstorm of 1944 and the tragedy of the fire aboard the SS Noronic prove that not all memories are pleasant ones.
