Published on March 23rd, 2023
Dip into this seasonal selection of nostalgic photographs from The Francis Frith Collection of people in the past having fun in the sun, as we celebrate the onset of summer this weekend when British Summertime Begins! Here are a mixture of black and white and colour photographs of Victorian and 20th-century beach scenes, donkey rides, over-dressed children enjoying their holiday whilst the grown-ups parade in their best clothes, children with buckets and spades on the sands, ladies keeping cool with parasols - and, of course, people messing about in boats.
