There is a powerful sense of place at the seaside. You know what to expect. Fishing villages usually have a pier boats lobster pots & masses of seagulls while resort towns have esplanades piers grand hotels & gardens. Certain seaside towns have just about everything: Weymouth for example has a grand parade of hotels a wide esplanade & a small fishing village. Blackpool has more of everything
- three piers miles of hotels the Tower Winter Gardens trams illuminations
- but no fishing & no castle! There is something about the seaside that brings out the beating heart of John Bull in the English: doggedly erecting our wind-breaks to capture every vestige of a watery sun; wrestling with deckchairs; wrapping up against the determined wind on the verandas of our beach huts; accepting that 'sand' in 'sandwich' means just that! But we still love it & nowhere else in the world can match its myriad charms & eccentricities. For too long the English seaside has suffered from bad press accused of being tatty cold grey & windswept. Peter Williams' evocative photographs in this fully revised edition of his acclaimed book will make you want to rediscover what a fantastic place the seaside is
- full of character charm & ' Englishness'.
