There is a powerful sense of place at the seaside. You know what to expect. Fishing villages usually have a pier, boats, lobster pots, and masses of seagulls while resort towns have esplanades, piers, grand hotels and gardens. Certain seaside towns have just about everything: Weymouth, for example, has a grand parade of hotels, a wide esplanade and a small fishing village. Blackpool has more of everything - three piers, miles of hotels, the Tower, Winter Gardens, trams, illuminations - but no fishing and 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 and nowhere else in the world can match its myriad charms and eccentricities. For too long the English seaside has suffered from bad press, accused of being tatty, cold grey and 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 and 'Englishness'.

Sandscapes: Writing the British Seaside reflects on the unique topography of sand, sandscapes, and the seaside in British culture and beyond. This book brings together creative and critical writings that explore the ways sand speaks to us of holidays and respite, but also of time and mortality, of plenitude and eternity. Drawing together writers from a range of backgrounds, the volume explores the environmental, social, personal, cultural, and political significance of sand and the seaside towns that have built up around it. The contributions take a variety of forms including fiction and nonfiction and cover topics ranging from sand dunes to sand mining, from seaside stories to shoreline architecture, from sand grains to global sand movements, from narratives of the setting up of bed and breakfasts to stories of seaside decline. Often a symbol of aridity, sand is revealed in this book to be an astonishingly fertile site for cultural meaning.

The British seaside town. An institution. Built for pure pleasure. Bathing, gossiping, promenading. Strange, unreal, dreamlike. Now so often faded and tatty - but on the cusp of new era. Ian Walker grew up in a seaside town and felt he had to escape its clutches. But he, like so many of us, is often drawn back the sandy edges of England: the Fawlty Towers of Torquay, the golden sands of Whitley Bay, Brighton's Royal Palace; fish, funfairs and affairs; ports, postcards and donkeys; mobility scooters, mods and Agatha Christie; sandy feet, sewage and the slot machine. Combining personal odyssey and sparkling social history, Beside the Seaside explores the places built for summertime joy - and how they're not always as innocent as they seem. It is the story of how we went on holiday, of Regency fops and vanishing fishermen, of lovers and gangsters, of faded industries and resorts reborn. Featuring: Scarborough * Brighton * Teignmouth * Torquay * Margate * Blackpool * Morecambe * Skegness * Clacton * Great Yarmouth * Felixstowe * Jaywick * Morecambe * Whitley Bay *Lowestoft * Hastings * Blackpool * Brighton - and more...

Long before the Victorians the Georgian elite made the English seaside their playground Discover the invention of the English seaside holiday in the days when royalty was ruthlessly dunked beneath the waves, when lodging houses catered for dukes and where resort visitors ranged from dying consumptives to marriageable misses to scandalous rakes - and the Prince Regent at his most outrageous. From the origins of sea bathing in the 16th century to the pinnacle of sophisticated Assembly Rooms, hotels and bathing establishments, this book charts the rise of the English seaside resorts before the arrival of the railways in the 1840s heralded the arrival of mass tourism and changed the way the English took their holidays for ever. Long before the Victorians every English county with a coastline had its resort with piers, sandcastles on the beach, donkey rides, sea bathing, souvenirs and the seaside landlady - this is the story of how, and why, they grew.
