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 & 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 & Margate to Scarborough & Blackpool
- Beside the Sea steps back in time to relive the heyday of the Great British seaside. What it discovers is a cultural & architectural golden age. A time when the grand hotels, ballrooms, holiday camps, piers & amusements were thronged with visitors during high season. An era when the variety acts who packed out the theatres & music halls were among the most famous names in the l&. & a world in which the beach meant fish & chips, donkey rides & bathing suits, not palm trees, bikinis & 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 & place in British life, & offers a lament for the magical beachfronts that have since fallen into decay, or been wiped away by developers.
