Jaywick!

Our Aunt had a really Art Deco property in Jaywick- curvey windows, flat roof the size of a football pitch(it seemed); huge room with amazing folding dividing doors. And the whole place smelt of Jaywick sand. Not polluted sand, but ...Read more

Caption For Bognor Regis, From The Pier 1903

Beyond the line of bathing machines, waves crash against the beach in this turn-of-the-century photograph. Much of the town's architecture dating from this period survives today.

Caption For Blue Anchor, The Village 1936

Taken from the Blue Anchor Hotel's balcony, this view looks across its garden to the promenade.

Caption For Mundesley, The Ship Hotel C1955

The Ship was described as one of the 'three good inns' of Mundesley in 1845. Among the facilities offered by the hotel were a quoits bed and bowling green.

Caption For Brancaster, St Mary's Church C1965

The parish church is of flint, with a large west tower.

Caption For Scarborough, The South Cliff Tramway 1890

The tramway offered holiday-makers an alternative means of escape from the beach to the Esplanade, other than by the 224 steps cutting through the Spa Gardens, and all for just 1d.

Caption For Margate, Marine Parade 1908

Margate is today a bustling seaside resort on the Isle of Thanet, with many miles of sandy beaches, and typical seaside attractions.

Caption For Lyme Regis, 1925

We view the town from the beach below the Royal Standard. The North Wall (right centre) has since been joined to the mainland (in 1979) by a random wall of rough boulders.

Caption For Landewednack, Church Cove C1900

Church Cove was a pilchard fishing place, with boats hauled up the steep beach, and there was also a lifeboat station here for a while until 1899.

Caption For Criccieth, And Cardigan Bay 1931

This magnificent view was taken from the east. The stooks lend period atmosphere to the harvest scene; the view today is far more built-up.

Caption For Lulworth, The Beach And A Steam Boat C1955

Incredible numbers of peo- ple crammed aboard paddle steamers such as the 'Empress' (centre) which has just arrived in Lulworth Cove.

Caption For Redcar, The Beach C1955

Redcar's popularity for the past 150 years has largely depended upon the attractions of the sea and the beach. A group of roundabouts and swings offers entertainment for the children.

Caption For St Ives, The Harbour 1890

Rows of fishing boats are mostly aground where they are moored in the harbour. Smaller boats are drawn right up to the buildings in the background, for the Wharf wall had not yet been built.

Caption For Salthouse, Cross Street C1955

This scene is characteristic of the North Norfolk coast: the walls and houses are built of whole flints found in the fields or on the nearby beach.

Caption For Ilfracombe, Capstone Hill And Parade 1911

The small beach to the left is at Prechers Rock.

Caption For Barry Island, Whitmore Bay 1900

The only attractions on offer here are boat trips and donkey rides; to the far right, on the water's edge, are a number of wheeled bathing machines.

Caption For Dunwich, The Beach 1909

A substantial shingle beach this may be, but it offers no protection to the sandy cliffs. All Saints' Church now stands at the edge, soon to join the lost medieval town in a watery grave.

Caption For Thorpeness, The Benthills 1929

We are looking along the Benthills road towards Aldeburgh. A variety of impressive cars have parked, possibly marking the advent of day trippers, which Ogilvie did not really want.

Caption For Barry Island, 'paddling' 1925

Motor launches are moored at the landing stages and are taking on passengers. These stages had to be manhandled up and down the beach as the tide went out and came in.

Caption For Seaton, The Sands 1920

The cliff on the right now has a row of houses at the top.

Caption For Crackington Haven, 1931

Specimens of 'Little Trees', a species of deep water coral so named because of its shape, are sometimes washed up on the beach at Crackington.

Caption For Watermouth, Harbour With Vessels C1871

Trading schooners are beached, waiting for their cargo to be taken ashore by horse and cart.

Caption For Seaton Carew, The Promenade C1965

The Marine Hotel (left), built in 1900, dominates this open sea front expanse. In the distance some of the houses on the green are visible. Hartlepool lies in the far distance on the right.

Caption For Exmouth, View From The Beacon 1925

Exmouth's long sea front and sandy beaches made sea-bathing a popular recreation from the town's earliest days as a resort. Tourists came for the bracing air and social activities.

Caption For Kinmel Bay, Sandy Cove C1955

The new housing developments of both pre- and post-war Britain most often came with a small parade of shops to serve the new residents.
