There is plenty of overlooked history to explore along our seafronts, from Great Yarmouth to Bridlington
a monumental statue of George III overlooks the fine sandy bay where much of the seafront was built as a direct result of his patronage. When he embraced the 18th century trend for medicinal sea bathing after a bout of madness in 1789, the king sealed its popularity and Weymouth’s fortunes.
Currently celebrating its 160th anniversary, it is the earliest surviving example by Victorian pier supremo Eugenius Birch whose impressive oeuvre included Brighton West,and Hastings piers. At a time when Blackpool had a resident population of just 4,000 the North pier attracted 275,000 paying visitors in its opening year. Always the town’s most genteel pier it still feels wonderfully Victorian, especially when viewed from the carousel at the end.
