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; wrestling with deckchairs; wrapping up against the
determined wind on the verandas of our beach huts; accepting that
'sand' in 'sandwich' means just that! And this is all reflected in
the architecture of the seaside, as captured so evocatively in Peter
Williams' photographs: brightly decorated beach huts, elaborate
promenade benches, strange 1930s shelters, colourful amusement
parks, the facades of ice-cream parlours... there is something about
all these buildings and details that tells you exactly where you
are, that you couldn't be anywhere other than at one of England's
myriad seaside resorts! Stuffed with hundreds of colour photographs,
this wonderful book is a perfect celebration of the spirit of the
English seaside.
