Work Begins To Remove Bridlington Whale Carcass

Work has begun to remove a 30-tonne whale carcass from Bridlington’s South Beach.

The 55ft (17m) long animal died on Tuesday evening after becoming stranded.

It is believed to be a male fin whale, the world’s second-largest creature after the blue whale.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council said some roads and slipways in the resort would be closed while the operation was ongoing.
