Britain's love of its pleasure beaches gave rise to a peculiar
holiday culture - the seaside. Here a usually reserved nation would
let its hair down, roll up its trousers, put on a kiss-me-quick hat
and laugh at bawdy entertainers. From Victorian sobriety and
Edwardian elegance through working-class high spirits to the
present day, this book celebrates the place that the seaside holds
in all our hearts. PA Photos is the photography arm of the PA
Group, which also owns the Press Association, the UK's national
news agency. Established in the late 19th Century, the PA has been
capturing editorial photography for 140 years, resulting in an
extraordinary archive of over 15 million images recording British
life over more than a century.
