Items related to Beside the Sea: Britain's Lost Seaside Heritage
From’the Victorian era to the’early years of the 1960s,’Summer in Britain’meant a mass’exodus, as millions of Britons boarded steam locomotives and charabancs’to swap’the drudgery of’life in the country's industrial heartlands’for the fleeting pleasures of the coast.
Through the stories of’the most popular’destinations -’from Brighton and Margate to Scarborough and Blackpool - Beside the Sea’steps back in time to’relive’the heyday of the Great British seaside.
What it discovers is a cultural and’architectural golden age.’A time when’the’grand hotels, ballrooms,’holiday camps, piers’and’amusements were thronged with’visitors’during high season. An era when the’variety acts’who packed out the theatres and’music’halls’were among the most famous names in the land. And a world in which the beach meant fish and chips, donkey rides and bathing suits,’not palm trees, bikinis’and white sands.
Combining’stunning archive photography’with memories’from’people’who worked, or’holidayed, at these resorts,’Wish You Were’Here celebrates a forgotten’time and place in British life, and offers a lament for’the’magical beachfronts’that have since fallen into decay, or been wiped away by developers.
