The British Seaside is a gift we all share. As an island nation it’s something we are all familiar with - it’s touch and feel, it’s smell and sounds. Invoking childhood memories and summertime dreams, the British seaside should be appreciated, cherished and sustained.
Enjoying a huge boom in popularity during the industrial revolution and beyond, Britain’s picturesque coastline became the perfect escape from the new urban chaos, bringing with it the need for street furniture - piers and promenades, harbours and seafronts all called out for benches to sit on and railings to lean on - places for the new urbanites to gaze out to sea and take the healthy air whilst dining on fish and chips, trays of cockles and steaming cups of hot tea.
The new industry of Britain responded with a flourish and the seaside resorts as we know them were born. The very people that manufactured the quayside posts for the promenades and piers, that cast and fabricated the seats for the harbour fronts, that made the ornate iron and steel work for the sunrooms and verandas, were the people that enjoyed them on their weeks and weekends away. British seaside is more than a childhood memory, it’s a key part of our history and industrial development.
