The sunshine before the rain 🌦️ The sky was an incredible colour and the sun made the grass sing with green.

Taking Teddy for a walk on the #pier . The little girl's outfit is as flouncy as the iron railings #SaturdaySnaps

Dr Kathryn Ferry Nigel J.Hetherington 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 Batsford Books Ah! The Dover Stage Hotel. A certain young man got roped in by his new girlfriend (who was a receptionist at the hotel) to pose for a new flyer. 1985.
The couple were married in July '88. The hotel demolished Nov '88.
We're still together, and will share a drink or 2 this weekend

Martha Gunn was so famous her likeness was used on Toby Jugs like this one I have in my collection #seasideheritage #Brighton

This is one of the many exhibitions I wish I'd seen. Fantastic buildings plus Billy Butlin ran the amusement park there

Ayr, Dunoon, Portobello, Troon, Aberdeen, Girvan, Rothesay and more. I'm looking forward to hearing about #Scottishseaside resorts on 15th May thanks to Seaside Heritage Network

WET. MISTY. MISERABLE.

Hat tip to Scottish Water for the installation of their 100th top up tap-hydration for the nation indeed. Shows how valuable drinking fountains are-old and new.

UPDATE: The planning application to redevelop St Anthony's Gardens (1933) and former Taylor's Garage (1936) in Penzance has been rejected by Cornwall Council. The gardens and garage compliment the modernist Jubilee Pool (GII) and should be adaptively reused within any new scheme.

In 1934 The BMA held their 102nd AGM at #Bournemouth for which they produced a 212 page book about the town and its history. It's a fascinating read with this rather lovely map used for the endpapers

A busy #Bournemouth seafront, Easter 1933. Cars were allowed along the Undercliff Drive but the speed limit on the signs is 8mph!

Been on my first hike as a scout leader today. Really nice bunch of boys and we made it round before the rain started, win, win ☺️

Another part of our #seasideheritage under threat

The fairground at #BarryIsland . The glazed building in the background is #Butlins holiday camp which makes the image post-1966. I'm wondering if the thatched building on the left was a Tiki Bar because they were a #seaside thing for a while. Anyone remember it?

to the lonely sea and sky;
I left my shoes and socks there -
I wonder if they're dry? 😁

#Words by Spike Milligan #Art by James Ensor (1860–1949)

This remarkable work painted in 1901 on Rügen, an island in the Baltic sea, shows the growing influence of Monet's sense of light and Paul Signac's stylistic technique on Wassily Kandinsky - it also shows him anticipating the tensions and relationships between pure colours in a…
