They are gathered from Old Photos,Postcards, Edwardian and Victorian vintage photos which have been enhanced and restored and antique prints. The photographs show life in the British Isles in the 19th and early 20th century.On the surface it looked quite affluent but there were two levels of living,those who had and those who had not. The magnificent Victorian buildings showing prosperity but down the ladder life was very hard for the poor.
Take a look at your hometown old photos and see how much it has changed in the past hundred years. The seaside holiday and photography developed together. As holidays became increasingly popular,the number of photographs offered for sale as memories of the annual week by the coast grew enormously. When the art of colouring photographs became available in the 1890s,the coloured holiday photographic print, and later the picture postcard really took off through a wonderful collection of coloured photographs covering all the major and several minor resorts around England’s coast, they give a defining seaside memory.
