A PLAQUE in memory of Robert Redhead, a former bowman of the Bridlington life-boat, has been placed in the boathouse. Robert Redhead lost his life when the Bridlington life-boat capsized off Flamborough on the 19th of August, 1952. The life-boat had gone out in an attempt to rescue two girl bathers.

The plaque was unveiled by Lady Hotham, wife of the president of the Bridlington branch of the Institution..
