Abergele Beach & Town Circa 1965

Looking at this photo, I'm taken back to summers on that beach full of pebbles and the cafe shown with its novel smell, something like milky coffee!  At about this time Abergele had a cinema, upstairs in the market ...Read more

Caption For Canvey Island, The Beach C1955

Hired deckchairs occupy much of the space on the beach. Although many of the older people enjoying the sun are well wrapped up, the boy on the right digs happily without a shirt.

Caption For Eastbourne, From The Wish Tower 1899

The coastline bulging out around the Wish Tower affords a vantage point for views north-east along the beach; this view shows the horse-drawn bathing machines on their large wheels plying their trade

Caption For Cayton Bay, C1955

One man and his dog stand looking out to sea (bottom centre) on the sandy beach at Cayton Bay, south of Scarborough.

Caption For Saltburn By The Sea, The Pier C1960

A splendid view of the full length of the pier and again a very well used beach. The long queue by the pier entrance suggests an ice cream kiosk!

Caption For Torquay, Babbacombe Beach 1924

Babbacombe's beaches were popular with early visitors to the resort, such as Oscar Wilde and Edward VII.

Babbacombe's beaches were popular with early visitors to the resort, such as Oscar Wilde and Edward VII.

Caption For Cadgwith, Scavengers 1899

Lobster or crab pots lie on the beach awaiting the next fishing trip, in a scene typical of many small fishing coves around the Cornish coast.

Caption For Shanklin, Appley Cliffs Bathing Tents 1918

A good bathing day beneath Appley Cliffs, which give shelter to Shanklin's southern beaches. A very steep climb leads up the cliffs above the line of bathing tents.

Caption For Freshwater Bay, The Beach C1965

Tennyson's gaunt figure could often be seen walking the beach in Victorian times.

Caption For Gorleston, High Street 1908

The streets are deserted, so everyone must be down at the beach enjoying the sun and sea breezes.

Caption For St Ives, Porthminster Beach C1955

The tea house, which still functions today as a delightful cafe-restaurant, stands at the near end of the beach. There are no surviving traces of the once major industry of seine net fishing.

Caption For Freshwater Bay, The Beach C1965

Tennyson's gaunt figure could often be seen walking the beach in Victorian times.

Caption For Cromer, East Beach C1955

With large trips to the seaside organised by youth groups, it was always a challenge to find different ways of entertaining large numbers of youngsters on the beach.

Caption For Bournemouth, The Centre C1955

One reason for Bournemouth’s success as a holiday resort has been that the shops are available if the weather is too wet and windy for the beach.

Caption For Formby, The Beach C1960

Then again, with the sea being so far away, these vehicles might well be the forerunners of the beach buggy.

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 Runswick, The Village C1885

When this picture was taken, fishermen would have to wait for high tide before launching their boats from the beach.

Caption For Torquay, Hauling In The Nets 1888

Most of the men gathered here on the beach are not fishermen - their bowler hats and shooting sticks suggest they are far more well-to-do.

Caption For Camber, Holiday Cottages C1955

holiday village, camp and caravan site with associated amuse- ment arcades that have grown from the glorious expanse of Camber sands, where the tide goes out for over half a mile, leaving a wide sandy beach

Caption For Seaton, Looking East 1927

From Castle Hill we look down on the Esplanade, with the Beach Hotel in the middle distance.

Caption For Southend On Sea, From The Pier 1898

Boats are drawn up on the beach close to the promenade. The foreshore buildings near to the pier include a small bandstand, suitable for open air concerts.

Caption For Dunoon, West Bay 1901

Local fisherman work on their boat; the large piece of material on the beach is probably the sail.

Caption For East Runton, Looking East 1933

A row of white beach huts trims the foot of the cliffs like a cuff. In the distance is Cromer pier.

Caption For Southend On Sea, From The Pier 1898

Boats are drawn up on the beach close to the promenade. The foreshore buildings near to the pier include a small bandstand, suitable for open air concerts.
