The seaside has always held a special position in British history
as a place of rest, relaxation and recuperation. Over the last 200
years many have made their way to the coast, attracted by the long
sunshine hours, the clean ozone-charged air and the opportunities
for bathing in and even drinking sea-water. Although the early
health resort ideal began to give way to more pleasure orientated
themes in the nineteenth century, the seaside holiday was still
regarded by many as a wholesome and invigorating break from inland
urban life well into the twentieth century. Yet with ever
increasing numbers of visitors and rising levels of coastal
pollution, this was by no means a forgone conclusion. The Seaside,
Health and the Environment in England and Wales since 1800 explores
the ways in which English seaside resorts continually reinvented
themselves to take account of contemporary trends in popular
leisure and maintain their hold on the public's imagination.
Particular account is paid to the interwar years when new
obsessions with outdoor activities such as sunbathing and tanning
were purposefully adopted by the industry to define the modern
image of the resort holiday. For these and other reasons the
seaside holiday reached new peaks of popularity in the 1930s and
1950s, yet, this very success placed enormous pressures on the
environmental amenities that people came to enjoy. As this work
shows, environmental stresses were manifold, particularly pollution
of the resorts' prime assets, their beaches. As such, serious
questions are raised concerning why it took such a long time for a
determined effort to be made to reverse beach pollution, and the
lessons to be learned regarding the impact of negative images of
the coast as a zone of danger and infection.

This book is dedicated to those who have struggled for thousands of
years trying to maintain their God given nature through freedom,
justice and equality. Prophet Adam, Moses, Abraham, Jesus and
Prophet Muhammad the last, and all the Prophets and messengers in
between (may peace and blessing be upon them) If we are believers
in the Prophethood we become sons and daughters within the Holy
Family, those dedicated carriers of the Covenants of God under the
banner of Freedom, Justice and Equality do so that we may inherit
God's truth as he gave it, to protect us from lies, weak ideas and
bad habits, both inside and outside of ourselves. The manipulators
of our society are those human beings who take advantage of our
weaknesses with structured programs. They are dummying us down
getting God out the mind, to gain control over the masses. This
article came to me by angelic forces. I was walking toward my back
door and just as I was about to take a step up a section from the
"FINAL CALL NEWSPAPER ''flew in front of me, landed upside the
door. The wind holding it there, I pick it up and this is the
article, satan himself; Mr. Berry Esq. Standing before the Virginia
house of delegates January 20, 1832. He made it clear, how to
manipulate slaves (a mass of people) he related, pass as severe
laws as you will to keep these unfortunate creatures in ignorance
(no God in the pledge, no moment of silence in schools, keep the
ten commandments out of sight, Jesus is god etc.) it is vain,
unless you can extinguish that spark of intellect which God has
given them.. Sir We have as far as possible, closed every avenue by
which light (knowledge and understanding) might enter their minds.
We have only to go one step further, to extinguish the capacity to
see the light (of God's word) and our work will be completed. They
would then be reduced to the level of the beast in the fields ( a
menace to themselves and society) and if they continue along that
line, black people (or the masses) will be in a condition that they
could never come out of (that's what they think Yes we can With
God's help). Comments in parenthesis by Imam John-Hassan Jor'dan /
