Description
The humble beach hut has become an iconic part of our seaside landscape. Its colourful facades are instantly recognisable, yet this modern incarnation is a relatively recent development, dating back to the 20th century. The beach hut's story begins in the 19th century, when travel to the coast became more accessible with the expansion of rail networks and the introduction of weekends and bank holidays for workers. As leisure trips to the sea increased, so did the demand for entertainment and accommodation, leading to the development of seaside resorts and the features we know today. This book tells the story of the beach hut's place in our seaside landscape, using numerous illustrations to bring its history to life.
