The coastline of Victorian and Edwardian Britain provided beauty, entertainment and a venue for most people's holidays. But it was also a thriving centre of industry - shipbuilding and fishing. This book travels around Britain's coast - clockwise from London - looking at the industries that could be found at many of the cities and towns en route.

A monograph on Fox Talbot, universally recognised as the father of modern photography.

Through a collection of coloured holiday photographs covering all the major - and several minor - resorts around England's coast, linked to selected written commentaries from Charles Dickens and many others, this book celebrates the heyday of the seaside holiday.
