Sewerby Hall Museum and Art Gallery is uniquely situated on a cliff-top location, forming the gateway to the Flamborough Heritage Coast; it enjoys spectacular views over the picturesque expanse of Bridlington Bay. The fine art collection now numbers some 100 works, comprising 18th-, 19th- and 20th-century oil paintings. The majority of works are local views (especially of Bridlington and Sewerby) and maritime art based around the East Yorkshire coast. There are also portraits of several members of the Greame family and other locally important figures. Highlights include numerous paintings relating to the Great Gale of 1871, by John Taylor Allerston (1828–1914).
