Travel and Tourism in Britain, 1700–1914 Vol 4 PDF
by Susan Barton, Allan Brodie
Description
The British led the way in holidaymaking. This four-volume primary resource collection brings together a diverse range of texts on the various forms of transport used by tourists, the destinations they visited, the role of entertainments and accommodation and how these affected the way that tourism evolved over two centuries.
Volume 4: Seaside Resorts The final volume presents case studies of four major seaside resorts: Scarborough, Margate, Brighton and Blackpool.
Scarborough evolved from a spa town to a seaside resort.
Margate became a coastal resort from scratch and became one of the earliest sites of mass tourism.
Brighton had sea bathers by the 1730s and its early development followed a similar path to that of Margate, but its royal connections allowed its rapid growth into a large town with high quality accommodation.
When the railway arrived at Blackpool in 1846 it was a large village.
Thirty years later it had two piers and a large hotel.
Its steady growth was due to the stream of working class visitors from the local hinterland of major industrial towns and cities.
