Stayed At The Beach Hotel
I very much enjoyed a short holiday at The Beach Hotel on Worthing seafront in 1976, it was very grand back then, marvellous food and excellent service and a short walk from the wonderful Roberts Wine Lodge and the pier. Sadly this hotel has now been demolished and replaced with a Premier Inn

Station Road
I have very fond memories of walking up this road in order to catch the old steam train to Chippenham, but alighting at Black Dog so that we could visit my grandparents who lived in Stanley. In younger days, I would paddle in the canal ...Read more

We lived in a council house adjacent to the Star Brush factory where my father worked for some years before we moved to Peppard. While our house was very modern by some standards, we had no electricity for some years, but we ...Read more

St. Abbs Haven
Lived in Leeds but spent two weeks holiday at the Haven - breakfast, lunch, high tea, dinner, supper - for most years in the 60's. (imagine the cost of that nowadays). Great memories of sports days, beach, summer pavillion (half way ...Read more

St Osyth, Essex Paradise Lost
My Grandmother already lived in St Osyth, so from 1927 to 1939 we always had two weeks vacation at St Osyth. Coming from London this was paradise. Water by the bucket from the hydrant (you had your own key for this). No ...Read more

The acres and acres of superb sand are what make these Lincolnshire coastal resorts such a pleasure; I remember donkey rides here, and indeed my daughters have also ridden the Skegness donkeys in the past
East of Southend, the Thames meets the North Sea at Shoeburyness and its long journey ends.
Known today for its caravan parks and the long sandy beach of Black Rock sands, Morfa Bychan, just west of Porthmadog, was long celebrated for the story of Dafydd Garreg-Wen, the blind harpist, known for
As we move further eastwards, the vista concludes with this dramatic portrayal of Penarth Head and its cliffs.
A mixture of near-derelict and beached craft gives this working slipway an untidy appearance that will certainly have been at odds with the fact that the majority of the boats represented someone's
Let's go home before the storm! The Lincolnshire coast is well known for its sandy beaches, and Mablethorpe and Sutton on Sea are outstanding, as this photograph shows.
The village is at the north end of a magnificent two-mile long sandy beach. Until the 1800s this stretch of coast was remote, its splendours familiar only to Ilfracombe fishermen.
The foundation stone of the chapel (left) was laid in 1910. The end of the next house is made up of alternate courses of brick and beach pebbles.
Again, the Tower is conspicuous by its absence in this view of the Palatine Hotel. Built close to both the railway station and beach, it quickly became a successful family hotel.
With the return of peace, people could again enjoy seaside holidays and once more flocked to the Lancashire resorts.
One of the few places on the north coast with access to a fine sandy beach and increasingly popular with surfers, Porthtowan is seen here in its early years of development and is hardly recognisable today
The magnificent beach at Rhosili, accessible only along narrow paths, and popular with swimmers and surfers, curves for 3 miles. The barque 'Helvetia' was wrecked here in 1877.
The eastern end of Hastings beach beside the RNLI lifeboat house is known as the 'Stade'- Saxon for 'landing place'; here the fleet of about 40 fishing boats are still winched up onto the shingle.
The awnings are still up on the bandstand and the musicians are tuning up in readiness for the afternoon matinee. A colourful throng is being entertained by pierrots on the beach.
Between the High Street and the Beach village, where the fishing community lived, were 12 narrow alleys, known as Scores.
Barricane Beach is behind the camera, and we see the broad expanse of Woolacombe sands stretching away south towards Croyde.
Beyond the headland, the intrusion of industrial Cardiff into this view illustrates just how close the large docks were – albeit as the crow flies.
Old fishing boats, some decommissioned, are beached on the foreshore on the Lelant side of the estuary.
A path leads from the tiny village across the fields to low cliffs above this quiet beach.
Eventually the steep paths lead down to the sea at Holy Well where sea bathing is possible, although the notice warns that it is dangerous when the red flag is flying.
In the 7th century, Selsey was the cultural centre of Sussex.
This view of the promenade looks south-east around the curving sweep of the bay. The popular 3 ft 6in gauge tramway ran for four miles along this dune-backed coast to Llanbedrog.
Aylesford is a perfectly sited village by the River Medway and the scene of many battles in ancient times.
The thatched mill house is deep in the valley about half a mile inland from the beach at Duckpool, and there is just a glimpse of the coast in this view.
