Reader's note

This brilliant book is a trip back in time to a bygone era! It may be surprising to learn that by the middle of the 1700s, more than a dozen seaside resorts were in full swing. After describing early days at Scarborough, the author gives a wonderful account of life in Margate in 1780. There follows the period of royal patronage at Brighton and Weymouth and the gradual extension of the seaside habit through the 1800s until it becomes an annual institution as we know it - interrupted only by the War and now resumed with all the old enthusiasm! Find out just how the British staycation became so popular! Add this to your vintage reference library today!
