This seaside resort on the Cardigan Bay coast shelters behind its sand dunes and wide sandy beach. Its reputation as a watering-place was founded on the exceptional purity of its air and water.
Beyond the Bay Private Hotel and Madeira Cottages (left centre) are Hardown Hill, Stonebarrow Hill (centre) and Golden Cap (right). Seaward are a series of ledges.
On the right are the buildings of the Community of St Denys, now part of Warminster School.
Although called Wyre View, the outlook is across Morecambe Bay to the Lake District.
Looking out onto Christchurch Bay, Mudeford remains the centre of the fishing industry in the area.
Almost ruinous when acquired by the National Trust as its first building in 1896, the clergy house was carefully restored.
This Battenhall street is typical of late Victorian/Edwardian housing intended for the 'lower middle classes'.
This shows the view from the Cobb hamlet to the original eastern cube-like core of the Bay Private Hotel (centre). Beyond are Madeira Cottage and the Assembly Rooms (centre right).
The Village 1959 At the west end of the village, at the junction of Gainsborough Road with the A30, is this former school of the 1880s, built in rock-faced rubble stone and ashlar dressings.
Away from the bright lights and entertainments of its main resorts, Lancashire's coast has many other fine stretches of expansive beach.
The cottages and buildings along the beach belong to the earliest settlement, while the later Victorian developments are strung out along the higher ground.
We are looking further right again from the scene in No 79875 opposite. A candle manufactory stood on this side of the harbour at Par. Across the bay is the distinctive daymark on Gribbin Head.
This photograph shows Marine Parade and its beach- tents, between Langmoor Gardens (top left) and the 1922-built Bay Private Hotel (centre).
Happy Valley was described as one of the best public parks or 'leisure grounds' in Britain, and was presented to the town by Lord Mostyn.
One of the boats on the right has the mark PZ, so she may have come from Penzance, a very long journey!
This view looks across the Bay to The Island from the well-named Man's Head Rock on the headland of Carrick Du.
Safe bathing brought thousands of early visitors to Shanklin, as we can see from the profusion of bathing huts and tents. Many of the boats in the foreground would have been for hire.
In the background are two liquid china clay storage tanks.
Thurlestone takes its name from a holed, or thirled, rock just out at sea in Bigbury Bay, which was mentioned in a Saxon charter way back in 845.
It can be appreciated from this photograph how the bleak area of beach and pools resulted from the infilling of the bay by silt and sand from the china clay industry; the old cliff line
Our journey starts in the superb stone-built town of Oundle, nowadays a popular tourist destination and home to Oundle School.
A view of Lyme on a clear summer's day in the 1950s, with the conical clifftop of Golden Cap in the distance. A boatman's sign promises a 'mackerel fishing trip round the bay' for two shillings.
Almost at the end of the Lleyn Peninsula, this small village opens out onto the beach and Cardigan Bay. Here the few visitors that could make their way here enjoy a lazy day on the beach.
We are looking towards the Red Lion, an early 19th-century public house with attractive bay windows.
