A vivid journey around England's great seaside resorts, exploring
their history and current struggle, and what they reveal about
England, from the award-winning author of Love of Country England's
seaside is made up of a striking variety of coastlines including
cliffs, coves, pebbled shore, wide sandy beaches, salt marshes, and
estuaries cutting deep inland. On these coastal edges England's
great holiday resorts grew up, developed in the early eighteenth
century originally as spas for medicinal bathing but soon morphing
into places of pleasure, entertainment, fantasy and adventure.
Acclaimed writer Madeleine Bunting journeyed clockwise around
England from Scarborough to Blackpool to understand the enduring
appeal of seaside towns, and what has happened to the golden sands,
cold seas and donkey rides of childhood memory. Taking in some
forty resorts, staying in hotels, caravans and holiday camps, she
swims from their beaches and talks to their residents to delve into
their landscapes, histories and contemporary plight.
