In Fiction
Flamborough Head and the village of Flamborough were also the setting for the book Bill Takes the Helm (Betty Bowen, published 1955 by Burke Publishing Company, London, England). Summarised, this is about an American boy's fight to save his grandmother's house – in which he, his sister and grandmother are living – from destruction by the sea. He is also desperately trying to get used to England after the death of his mother, who requested in her will that he be sent there.
