Mundesley, The Sands 1892

More about this scene
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. After the 1914-18 war the local council took over and charged 6d for tents and cabins. For the princely sum of 5s, the bathing machines, which were mainly used by ladies, could be drawn right up to the water's edge by a horse. The gathering in the centre of the picture could be an orderly queue to purchase tea and coffee, sweets and other goods from stall holders, or maybe even to see and hear travelling musicians.
