Paignton, Bathing Beach 1896

More about this scene
Bathing machines were designed to be pushed into the sea, allowing bathers to change and enter the water with maximum decorum. It is curious to think that a generation earlier, nude bathing, at least by the gentlemen, was completely accepted. The Yorkshire resort of Scarborough claims to have invented these machines.
