Happy Memories
I worked in the Hotel Continental in the very hot summer of 1976 with 3 friends. It was a glorious summer season and the sun shone endlessly, so we spent many lazy days (between work shifts!) on the beach. We danced into the early ...Read more

Holidaymakers and day trippers have been drawn to the sandy beach at the mouth of the Seaton valley.
One longer tunnel is said to have run down to the beach.
At the moment the tide is in, but later on the beach will be thronged with people.
This is a good view of one of the few places with access to a good beach for many miles of slate coast, although even then the sand is covered at high tide. Gull Rock is offshore.
A path leads from the tiny village across the fields to low cliffs above this quiet beach.
1940s and early 50s caravan and camping sites saw the village embrace the holiday trade with an amusement arcade and new shops like Sea View Café, which were conveniently sited near the beach
Despite that, this is still the preferred beach for locals, and laver seaweed (the edible kind) is harvested here whenever the month has an 'R' in it.
Fishermen also benefited from this extra demand for entertainment, as they were still able to supplement their income by offering pleasure boat trips from the beach.
When we contrast this view with the one taken in 1901, the bathing machines have gone, to be replaced by chang- ing tents and the long lines of beach huts.
To the right the Lower Promenade, closer to beach level, is separated by a sloping bank of more informal shrubs.
Rather curiously, the High Street turns sharp right at this road junction, and heads down to the beach. The road in the centre distance is the Coast Road to Redcar.
A typical scene on many of the beaches in the area: bathing machines are lined up along the water's edge waiting for customers.
By the 1950s, visitors to the beach were mainly from the numerous caravan sites in the area. Flat Holm and Steep Holm islands are in the background.
Styled as the English Riviera, its beaches are in fact somewhat smaller than might be imagined. This crowded scene looks south along Torbay towards Paignton.
Its miles of long sandy beaches, gently sloping sands, and safe bathing offer all that is needed for a perfect seaside holiday.
Victorian ladies stroll on the promenade—note the lady pushing a pram in the centre—and holiday makers enjoy themselves on the beach.
We are looking east along a lively Brighton Beach towards the unfinished Palace Pier at the close of the 19th century.
Note the small train ride in the left-hand corner of the beach. Former Prime Minister Edward Heath lived at Broadstairs, and so did the round- the-world yachtsman Alec Rose.
Lewis`s Beach Tea House (far right) was renowned for its cream teas.
At this time, close to the end of the Victorian era, staying fully clothed on the beach was very much the norm, with sand castles and donkey rides the prime amusements for the children; the
This photograph must have been taken at the height of the holiday season because the shop on the right, M A Grinnall's, has a number of beach balls and inflatable air beds on display outside.
A magician entertains a crowd of well dressed Victorian holidaymakers on the beach.
With their magnificent sea view, away from the hustle and bustle of the beach, these gardens were quite literally a cut above.
Seaton's fishing industry declined soon after this photograph was taken; notice the fishing boats drawn up on the beach. It is now a much larger town, and a popular resort.
