More about this scene
If Torquay always saw itself as rather upper-class, Paignton cheerfully catered for the hoi polloi. To this day, it is a candy floss and funny hats sort of place: cheap and cheerful, very cheerful. Small changing tents were a feature of English seaside holiday towns until well after the last war.
