At The Seaside

What was it like to go to the seaside when you would have watched a performing flea circus on the beach and worn a flannel bathing costume to paddle in the sea?

The children in this book find out how people at the turn of the century spent their time on holiday. They discover where people stayed, what they ate and wore, and they sample some of the seaside entertainments which their great grandparents might have enjoyed. The book also includes background information, old photographs and a time line which shows important events and inventions.
