Twentieth Century Seaside Architecture: pools, piers and pleasure around Britain’s coast
Grab your bucket and spade and enjoy a nostalgic stroll around Britain’s seaside architecture.
In this illustrated talk, based on her new book, author and historian Dr Kathryn Ferry uses picture postcards to highlight how design trends including Art Deco, Mid-Century Modern and Brutalism, shaped our seafronts between 1920 and 2000.
As the heyday of domestic holidays gave way to a dramatic decline in popularity, new attractions continued to be built. Kathryn will share local examples alongside her favourites, taking in everything from hotels, lidos and entertainment pavilions to beach huts, amusement arcades and leisure centres.
