Caption For Bognor Regis, From The Pier 1903

Beyond the line of bathing machines, waves crash against the beach in this turn-of-the-century photograph. Much of the town's architecture dating from this period survives today.

Caption For Brancaster, St Mary's Church C1965

The inscription on the stone says that unscrupulous thieves plundered the bodies as they lay on the beach.

Caption For Scarborough, Castle From The East Pier C1958

Scarborough's sandy beaches are still as popular with northern holidaymakers, who still throng to the seaside town for the donkey rides, candy floss and sticks of rock as they did 50 years ago.

Caption For Fleetwood, The Beach 1902

To the left, overlooking the beach, stands the lifeboat station and, on the right, one of the town's two lighthouses.
