Victorian Seaside

This delightful book contains a nostalgic selection of photographs from The Francis Frith Collection of Britain’s seaside resorts in their Victorian heyday, when they were the favourite destinations for the traditional British holiday. In this fascinating book you can see the Victorians padding in the shallows, enjoying dips from bathing machines, promenading, crowding to watch the beach entertainers, or simply taking in the ‘ozone’. The photographs are accompanied by an intriguing text taken from a Victorian guide book, offering an impression of how these resorts were viewed at the time when the archive photographs were taken. Evocative and atmospheric, these stunning images will transport you back into a bygone world. They bring us a strong reminder of the simple and diverse pleasures that the old-style British resort offered to many generations of tourists in the past.
