Visiting Pontllyfni

I spent two wonderful summers in Pontllyfni in 1974 and 1976. I was a college student from the U.S., visiting Wales with a friend who had a cousin living there. The family owned a small inn just up the road from the beach. ...Read more

Fazeley In The 1970s

I remember the beach-like atmosphere at Bourne brook off Brook End, Fazeley in the summer months (early to mid 1970s). Whole families would sit and watch their children swim in the brook. I learned to swim and fish here. I ...Read more

The Pedlar's Pack, Jetty Street, Cromer

The mother of my work friend, John Wallace, owned the flat over what used to be the Pedlar's Pack. We often rode to Cromer from Leicester on our motorcycles and spent weekends there. On one notable occasion ...Read more

Caption For Carbis Bay, General View 1901

This view shows Carbis Bay when it was still largely undeveloped, with just a scattering of houses above the cliffs overlooking the sandy beach.

Caption For Southwold, North Cliff 1893

Close to the point where the cliffs begin to rise from the beach at Southwold is the Sailor's Reading Room.

Caption For Weston Super Mare, The Sands 1887

Here you can see the wide range of entertainment on offer on the beach. On the left, the tea tent was run by the Castle Coffee House, based in Castle Street.

Caption For Southend On Sea, The Esplanade 1898

The photographer has moved in closer to the beach to take this picture, although still concentrating on the same area as the former one.The Shrubbery Gardens, above the sun shelter, are well used

Caption For Trebarwith, The Valley And Gull Rock 1935

The narrow Trebarwith valley emerges at the north Cornish coast; here Trebarwith Strand presents a good beach of golden sand, but all vanishes at high tide.

Caption For Aldeburgh, Moot Hall 1894

The timber-framed Tudor Moot Hall is situated next to the beach.

Caption For Ilfracombe, Wildersmouth Beach 1899

Wildersmouth Bay was the original bathing beach of the town; those beaches to the west only became accessible after the drafting in of Welsh miners to dig the tunnels by which they are now reached.

Caption For Fleetwood, The Beach And Lower Lightouse 1892

Then, as now, the beach was popular with children, who here play at the water's edge whilst older boys admire the moored fishing boat.

Caption For Margate, The Sands 1918

This is a remarkable view—not least because of the 'kreemy toffee' advertised on the left, showing that incorrect spelling has been used in advertising for many years.

Caption For Heacham, South Beach C1965

The line of beach-huts makes a striking background to this picture of a father and son sea fishing from the pebbly beach.

Caption For Falmouth, Pennance Point 1895

This photograph was taken from Gyllyngvase Beach. In the middle distance is Swanpool Point; hidden beyond it is Swanpool Beach, another favoured smuggling spot.

Caption For Trenarren, Hallane Beach 1912

The little valley of Trenarren reaches the coast just to the west of Black Head, and the stream cascades over the cliff onto the beach.

Caption For Lydstep, Cave Of Beauty 1890

The 'Droch' or Cave of Beauty is regarded as the finest at Lydstep Cavern Beach.

Caption For Bournemouth, East Cliff 1897

This view of East Cliff, with well-clad visitors strolling along the beach, and sailing boats drawn up on the shore, shows a south coast beach before development and formalisation changed its character

Caption For Highcliffe, C1955

Highcliffe was well and truly within the county of Hampshire until the latter half of the 20th century, and it remains close to the Hampshire border.

Caption For Worthing, Perambulators 1925

During the first quarter of the 20th century Worthing's beach was very popular with visitors and inhabitants alike.

Caption For Filey, On The Beach C1950

Lines of wind shelters adorn the beach at the popular Yorkshire coast resort of Filey. Once a fashionable beach accessory, they are seldom seen today, so perhaps it was windier in the Fifties!

Caption For Studland, The Beach 1925

Studland has one of the best and least tampered-with beaches in Dorset - a real reminder of those halcyon days when such luminaries as George III promoted the merits of sea bathing.

Caption For Sidmouth, The Beach 1924

Sidmouth's pebbly beach has never deterred sea bathers and paddlers, though building sandcastles was a harder task.

Caption For Westward Ho!, The Pebble Ridge And Sands 1932

Still a popular beach today, particularly with locals, the Pebble Ridge is a long low expanse protecting the entrance to the Taw and Torridge estuary.

Caption For Pentewan, Sconhoe Farm And The Beach 1931

Outdoor holidays are being pioneered here, with just a few tents and caravans on the edge of the beach at Sconhoe Farm.

Caption For Budleigh Salterton, On The Beach 1901

These boats up on the pink shingle beach are probably rowing boats for hire - they were painted red, white and blue.

Ref. 59342
Caption For Porth, 1907

At low tide Porth Beach becomes a sandy inlet on the east side of Newquay, but here the tide is in, with Porth Island and Trevelgue Head seen across the water.

Caption For Redcar, The Beach C1955

Few people can now remember how crowded the beach became on a warm summer day - the scenes here were comparable with Blackpool Beach.
