The Seafront describes a highly complex space that has been created,
recreated and adapted over the past 300 years. It tells the story of
seaside holidays and how the arrival of increasing numbers of tourists
transformed natural coastline into the man-made environments of modern
resorts. Themes examined range from the engineering of sea defences, to
the provision of tourism infrastructure and from facilities for sea
bathing to the fun factories and fun fairs of the 20th century.
