Summary

There is something about the seaside that brings out the beating heart of John Bull in the English: doggedly erecting our wind-breaks to capture every vestige of a watery sun; For too long the English seaside has suffered from bad press, accused of being tatty, cold grey and windswept.

The English Seaside by Peter Williams

There is something about the seaside that brings out the beating heart of John Bull in the English: doggedly erecting our wind-breaks to capture every vestige of a watery sun; For too long the English seaside has suffered from bad press, accused of being tatty, cold grey and windswept.
It tells the story almost entirely in photographs after a foreword, and captures well the atmosphere of seaside towns, whether sedate or raucous, their views, amenities and curious quirks
Mark Smulian, Journal of the Islington Archaeology & History Society
Peter Williams has recently retired from English Heritage where he was a photographer. He is a devoted enthusiast of the seaside.
