Mr. HAMILTON EYTE : ' The Seaside Yesterday and Today '

on 2LO London and 5XX Daventry

View in Radio Times

FTHE English seaside has changed, in the last generation, as so many of our other institutions have changed. A generation ago the professional classes went to the seaside for a holiday at the sea ; the sea and sand, the wind and spray, the change from town life were what tihey sought there, and they found them. Nowadays those who seek these attractions go abroad, and throng the resorts of the Norman and Breton coast. Our English seaside is populated, instead, with peoplewho want niers and kursaals. cinemas. concert parties, theatres, concerts-in fact, a constant whirl ofurban amusements to which the sea is a background and little more. This, at least, is ithe impression that Mr. Hamilton Fyfe , the well-known journalist, will record.
