Morning Coffee At Rapparee

Wonderful little beach. As a lad in the late 1940's and early 50's, I was a deckchair boy here, and hundreds of people would walk from town to have a coffee at the cafe at the bottom of Rapparee steps, or spend half ...Read more

Caption For Paignton, Preston Sands 1918

Seaplanes from the newly-formed Royal Air Force are pulled up on the beach - perhaps being used either for recruitment or anti-submarine duties.

Caption For Aberporth, Bay C1960

The beach was used once a year by farmers from Llechryd for a feast.

Caption For Sidmouth, Jacobs Ladder 1907

At the foot of the ladder today, there is a short promenade with beach huts.

Caption For Lamorna, 1908

The walk along the fern-fringed lane to the rocky beach is unforgettable. The Newlyn artists were enthusiastic visitors here.

Caption For Filey, Promenade 1901

Its picturesque position on the cliffs of one of the noblest bays on the east coast of England, and its fine beach, along with its splendid hotels and handsome private houses, make Filey one of the most

Caption For Budleigh Salterton, Promenade 1898

Its own beach is sandless and full of large pebbles, which seem to sing as the tides play across them. It gets its name from the salterns, or salt pans, used by the monks of nearby Otterton Priory.

Caption For Reighton, Gap C1960

Situated at the southern end of Filey's long beach, the outcrop of Flamborough Head can be seen in the distance.

Caption For Penarth, The Walk To The Beach 1893

Such were the number of visitors navigating the overgrown and makeshift route from the town centre to the beach that the Windsor estate prioritised the construction of a more permanent path.

Caption For Budleigh Salterton, Promenade 1898

Its own beach is sandless and full of large pebbles, which seem to sing as the tides play across them.

Caption For Folkestone, Sun Bathing C1950

There are plenty of changing tents on this beach, where a group of boys wave at the camera (centre foreground).

Caption For Gorleston, The White Lion Hotel 1922

In this picture, guests are returning from the beach and are processing up to the hotel in order to get changed in time for their evening meal, which was often accompanied by soothing live music.

Caption For Salisbury, High Street C1955

Street furniture is changing with the introduction of the ugly concrete street lamp post outside the timber-framed building that was Beach's bookshop.

Caption For Torcross, The Sands 1896

More Americans died training here than were killed on Utah Beach on D-Day.

Caption For Aldbrough, The Cliffs And Beach C1955

Here a lady can be seen trying to coax a child down the steps to the beach.

Caption For Scarborough, The Bay 1886

One Victorian dress would provide enough material for a dozen or more outfits today, when bikinis rule the beach.

Caption For Eastbourne, Eastbourne Beach 1894

The edge of the beach is lined with bathing machines in this view.

Caption For Ramsgate, Beach And East Cliff C1920

It was more popular with the locals, because it was away from the main beach. The prominent building on the cliff was part of Victoria Gardens.

Caption For Sandown, The Promenade C1955

These days, happily, the only active defences to be found at the resort are sand castles on the beach.

Caption For Hove, The Promenade 1921

It deliberately provided fewer mass entertainment facilities than Brighton, which presumably accounts for the nearly deserted promenade and beach we see in this picture.

Caption For Scarborough, The South Cliff Tramway 1890

The tramway offered holiday-makers an alternative means of escape from the beach to the Esplanade, other than by the 224 steps cutting through the Spa Gardens, and all for just 1d.

Caption For Exmouth, The Pier And The Steamer 1922

A steamer sets out from Exmouth Pier, watched by boatmen on the nearby beach.

Caption For Abbotsbury, The Swannery C1955

The Fleet, a strip of brackish water between the Chesil Beach and the shoreline, gives a safe haven to all kinds of wetland fowl, including at one time a stray flamingo.

Caption For Kessingland, Church Road C1955

This view is from the beach towards the village. The road was developed in the Victorian period, and most of the houses and shops, like those on the right, are of that date.

Caption For St Austell, Crinnis Beach C1955

As at Par, the Crinnis Beach is also largely a result of the deposition of waste from the mining and china clay industries.
