Seaside Old and New

SEASIDE OLD AND NEW COLLECTION

This cross-curricular collection of historical and modern artefacts can be used to demonstrate how the seaside has evolved. For generations of people, young and old, a seaside holiday was an escape from what for many was a dreary and hard life. During the Victorian period the railways made many seaside resorts affordable to the masses. The popular holiday destinations were colourful, bustling places crammed with entertainment and amusements of all kinds, including the seashore with its sandy beaches, rock pools, bathing, donkey rides and Punch and Judy.
