More about this scene
The cars and dress may be different, but a day by the sea changes little over the years. Here sun seekers sit or stroll on the promenade. Men's dress is still relatively formal, and the cars speak of some affluence. Yet in 1897, Dr Townsend, chairman of the local council, was concerned at the nature of public bathing and suggested the regulation of dress. He also suggested that 'bathing vans' be separated, and special concern was voiced about ladies 'undressing in the sand hills'.
