About this product

Product Information

Old-fashioned seaside holidays inspire a great deal of nostalgic affection among British people. Quintessential elements such as seaside donkeys and sickly sticks of rock are easily identifiable and memorable ingredients of a tradition that most people in this country have experienced. Focusing on the hundred year period from 1870 to 1970, this volume takes a nostalgic journey through the promenades, deckchairs and sandcastles to discover how ordinary people spent their seaside holidays. Colourful photographs and images are brought to life with light-hearted commentary revealing the history behind these idyllic trips to the seaside - how did we get there, where did we stay, and how did we spend our days? Each captivating chapter explores a different aspect of holiday life to build a complete picture of the social and historical significance of the classic British seaside holiday.

Excellent book, well written and full of nostalgic facts.
This book is well researched, well written and very interesting. It will certainly appeal to readers aged 50+ and even more to those who were staying at British seaside resorts in the 1960s and will bring back happy memories of more simple times with lots of nostalgia. Younger readers will find the book an interesting insight to a bygone era and how families spent their holiday time.
