Britain's Coast

Personalised!

This lavishly illustrated book reveals Britain’s coastline in all its rich variety: towering cliffs, broad sandy bays, rocky headlands, winding river creeks, fishing hamlets, great ports and harbours, seaside resorts ... the variations are endless. Britain has always enjoyed its reputation as a maritime nation, and its coast is not only a playground for holidaymakers but also a traditional place of work for many thousands of Britons. These images from the world-renowned Frith archive of historic photographs are deeply atmospheric and nostalgic, and offer us a fascinating insight over the centuries into the lives of those who live by the sea. They also show how our coasts looked a hundred years or more ago. The many quotations from writers, poets and travellers down the ages add valuable insights into the rich diversity of Britain’s coastal history and heritage. ‘Britain’s Coast’ acts as a moving testimony to a traditional way of life now hugely changed.

" I ordered a book with a personalised touch (from my youngest kids to their grandma). Having the option to personalise is one of the reasons I bought it. It was promptly delivered, no fuss, no delays. An absolutely beautiful pictorial historical account of my Mum's home town, which I am sure she will be delighted with.

Thank you very much Francis Frith."
