Seaside Resorts by Candida Lycett Green

A celebration of British Seaside Resorts by The Oldie's Unwrecked England columnist, beautifully illustrated with colour photographs evoking places one hopes to revisit one day. I was so saddened to hear that the much-loved writer had passed way last month -I loved her style of writings and hope more surfaces in time.
The first glimpse of the sea after an absence always excites me- a feeling triggered no doubt by the memory of childhood holidays; memories which we in turn pass on to our children and grandchildren. For me resorts are places where, when you face out to sea, your cares are behind you: the promenades and sea walls aw the safe divider between the civilised world and the wild.
