@seasideferry.bsky.social@seasideferry.bsky.socialThis is exactly what we feared @seasidenetwork.bsky.social @artdecosocuk.bsky.social! An overscaled proposal for the site of the 1930 lido at #gorleston

@seasideferry.bsky.socialWell I did not know that! And I do like Edward Mountford's work. Not quite sure how you're going to get justice on that one...
@seasideferry.bsky.socialThis time last week I was on my way to #Llandudno for @thevicsoc.bsky.social AGM weekend. My lecture about resort development in North Wales was well received and it was great to see so many familiar faces. Went on the #pier and up the Great Orme - it's a lovely place!
@indyhistnetwork.bsky.socialReposted by @seasideferry.bsky.socialafter a couple of hair-pulling-out days, the IHN website is BACK!
it looks a little different (but not much) but most excitingly, our Members Only resources are now online too!
Members will receive an email shortly on how to access it.

@seasideferry.bsky.socialThis was my Saturday morning. What have you been up to?
@seasideferry.bsky.socialSuch a privilege to make these awards and share all the lovely things that voters said about their favourite #seaside places.
@seasideferry.bsky.socialYou can knock the #GrandHotel but you can't knock the views across #scarborough South Bay
This is what I can see to north and south of my bedroom - with a lot of sea in between 🌊🌊🌊😍
@seasideferry.bsky.socialMade it to #york, definitely one of my fave stations 😍 Next stop sunny #scarborough ready for @seasidenetwork.bsky.social Big Day Out tomorrow
@seasideferry.bsky.socialAh, that would have been good. Well done on the scanning though 👍
@seasideferry.bsky.socialThanks Jo. Good luck with the move 🏡
@seasideferry.bsky.socialIt's so easy to forget that photos had to be much more considered in the past - all those things we missed! But then maybe we just snap so much now we barely notice what we're snapping. Sad about Runcorn though
@seasideferry.bsky.socialThat is a good memory, gotta love those Geography field trips. It sounds like there was never much actual movement on the tracks but at least you saw them
@seasideferry.bsky.socialYes, opened the same year as the Sun Centre by a private company. Quite jealous that you saw it!
@seasideferry.bsky.socialWow! That's quite something!
@seasideferry.bsky.social😂
@seasideferry.bsky.socialBest find at today's collector's fair - a postcard of the short-lived #monorail at #rhyl. It only ran for a few weeks in 1980 - read more at theleisurehistorian.com/rhyl-monorail/
@mikeyashworth.bsky.socialReposted by @seasideferry.bsky.socialSkegness may be bracing but - Bridlington will make you jump for joy! The wonderful cover to the Yorkshire coastal resort's Official Guide for 1934. #seaside #holidays #design #yorkshire @seasideferry.bsky.social
@seasideferry.bsky.socialI LOVE vintage #seaside souvenirs so really want to go and see the current exhibition #Southend Central Museum

@seasideferry.bsky.socialIn my past life I would have looked at the houses. Since getting a whippet all I see are the whippets!
