100 Years of the British Seaside: Twentieth Century in Pictures
KNOTTED hankies and rolled-up trousers, kiss-me-quick hats and donkey rides.
The delights of the British seaside are one of the great joys of our summer – even when the rain is lashing and an ice-cold wind is sweeping in from Siberia.
This book is a celebration of sun, sea and sand as well as the entertainments and attractions that are the reasons why we like to be beside the seaside.
From the turn of the 20th century to the turn of this it is refreshing to know that the pleasures haven’t changed. Above, a young lad feeds his ice-cream to a donkey on the beach at Weston-super-Mare.
