Place reservation for Beside the seaside : a history of Yorkshire's seaside resortsAlmost all of us have happy memories of excursions and holidays spent beside the sea. For many, these will have included the Yorkshire coast which runs unbroken for more than 100 miles between the two great rivers, the Tees and the Humber. Within those boundaries are the popular seaside resorts of Whitby, Scarborough, Filey and Bridlington as well as numerous smaller and quieter but equally well-loved destinations. How did the love affair with the area start and how did it develop? Over the years, all the ingredients for the perfect holiday are there - the spas, the sea and sun bathing, board and lodgings, entertainment and just as importantly, the journeys there and back. 'Beside the Seaside' takes a detailed, but entertaining, look back at the history of these resorts over the last 400 years and asks, 'what does the future hold?'
