Caption For Tywyn, View From Marine Parade 1908

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.

Caption For Lyme Regis, Marine Parade 1930

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.

Caption For Warminster, Vicarage Street C1955

On the right are the buildings of the Community of St Denys, now part of Warminster School.

Caption For Knott End On Sea, Wyre View C1950

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.

Caption For Alfriston, The Clergy House 1921

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'.

Caption For Milborne Port, Ven House C1955

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.

Caption For Heysham, Half Moon Bay C1960

Away from the bright lights and entertainments of its main resorts, Lancashire's coast has many other fine stretches of expansive beach.

Caption For Port Erin, From The Cliff 1901

The cottages and buildings along the beach belong to the earliest settlement, while the later Victorian developments are strung out along the higher ground.

Caption For Par, The Spit And Bay 1927

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.

Caption For Lyme Regis, The Sands 1930

This photograph shows Marine Parade and its beach- tents, between Langmoor Gardens (top left) and the 1922-built Bay Private Hotel (centre).

Caption For Llandudno, Happy Valley 1913

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.

Caption For Scarborough, From The Fish Pier 1890

One of the boats on the right has the mark PZ, so she may have come from Penzance, a very long journey!

Caption For St Ives, Mans Head Rock And Island 1908

This view looks across the Bay to The Island from the well-named Man's Head Rock on the headland of Carrick Du.

Caption For Shanklin, The Beach 1893

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.

Caption For Par, Beach Huts 1938

In the background are two liquid china clay storage tanks.

Caption For Thurlestone, The Village 1918

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.

Caption For Par, Beach 1927

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

Caption For Oundle, North Street C1955

Our journey starts in the superb stone-built town of Oundle, nowadays a popular tourist destination and home to Oundle School.

Caption For Lyme Regis, The Promenade C1955

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.

Caption For Aberdaron, The Beach C1960

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.
