A classic view of the Stamford skyline from the water meadows. From left to right, the four churches are All Saints', St John's, St Michael's and St Mary's.
Cleanliness in the 12th and 13th centuries was certainly next to Godliness. The Cistercians, like the Knights Templar, were not noted for their standards of personal hygiene and rarely washed.
Bognor, further east along the coast beyond Selsey Bill, grew up from a small fishing village and is one of the earliest Sussex sea-bathing resorts.
Further west the shore bulges out round the promontory of the Wish Tower, in fact a Martello tower or fortlet built in large numbers to defend the coast from Napoleon.

The Royal Infirmary, with its high dome and clock face, lords it over Piccadilly.
Records show that St Lawrence stands on the site of a Christian church dating back to at least 1108.
Chestnut trees were planted to soften the outline of the semi-circular area, and there were changing cubicles and two springboards. Mixed bathing (even for children) was forbidden.
Bathing machines, tents and cabins were rented out by George Johnson & Son until 1912. Storms in that year destroyed most of their equipment, and they were unable to afford replacements.
The huge carriage works (right) have long since gone, to be replaced in the 1980s by the entrance to the Tesco supermarket development.
We are looking back from Bath Square, with the General Post Office on the right.
This used to be the path where fishermen carried pilchards and herrings to trade for local produce.
A charming view showing Huntcliffe with the pier in front. Note the row of bathing machines on the edge of the
The High Street used to be the main Norwich to London road. Here is a foretaste of the traffic problems that were to come.
Langford's tents have now taken the place of Dendy's bathing machines. Opposite is Redcliffe Lodge, and between the trees is Dendy's Parkfield House.
Robert Louis Stevenson was a frequent visitor to Bridge of Allan when the town was a popular Victorian spa complete with pump room and baths.
Bathing machines are lined up near the sea wall. They would be towed down to the sea, possibly by the horse in the picture.
The buildings in the foreground are part of the recently completed Spa complex. The tide is clearly well out, and bathing machines are still in evidence.

Children bathe in a brook on a hot day in Stanwell. Perhaps their parents are seeking a different kind of refreshment in the nearby Rising Sun public house.
By the late 1920s, not a bathing machine graces the water's edge in this view of the crowded Margate Sands, looking towards the Harbour with the Pierhead Lighthouse.
It never happened, because of the limited suitability of the sea bathing available.
