The humble and colourful beach hut can be seen up and down
Britain's coastline. Now something of an architectural icon, the
beach hut seems as though it has been around forever although it is
an invention of the twentieth century. From the eighteenth century
the beach changed from a place for fishermen and smugglers to a
fashionable place where the wealthy could recover from illness. In
the nineteenth century the coming of the railways and the
introduction of holidays for workers made the coast increasingly
popular. A growing demand for entertainment and accommodation led
to the birth of the seaside resort and, with it, the development of
the seaside that we know and love today. This book is part of the
Britain's Heritage series, which provides definitive introductions
to the riches of Britain's past, and is the perfect way to get
acquainted with beach huts in all their variety.
