A little bit of history about Charlottes of Filey
Charlotte Bronte – Stayed here at Cliff House Filey 1849 – 1852
Cliff house is what Charlottes of Filey used to be called, was one of the first houses built in the development of ‘New Filey’ circa 1824 – 1855. For a short time, the house enjoyed unrivalled sea views across the ‘German Ocean’ until the completion of the crescent in the 1850’s. The original owner was Francis Smith and his wife Eleanor. The Smiths had the honour of sheltering the creator of the masterpiece of fiction we know today ‘Jane Eyer’, Miss Charlotte Bronte, the English novelist who was a regular visitor to Filey.
Charlotte Bronte loved the sea, which came a close second only to her love of the Moors. Charlotte had been ill for some time and thought a trip to Filey and a change of air would do her good. She stayed at Cliff House in June 1852 and wrote to her father from there on June 2nd, in which she beautifully and characteristically expresses direct reference to Filey.
