More about this scene
The houses on the right were soon turned into cafes to serve the ever-growing numbers of holidaymakers. They would advertise breakfasts bigger than each other, vying with each other for customers. The row soon became known as 'the ham and egg parade', and very popular it was too. But as in all English seaside towns, package holidays abroad brought about the demise of these places. Eventually the row was bought by the council and pulled down to make way for the new promenade that they had planned.
