Those were the days...

We've also been doing some research into people's pasts and compiling memories from their favourite childhood destinations. Interestingly we've found that a lot of people wouldn't want to go back for a whole variety of different reasons. One of the main reasons why people wouldn't want to return to their childhood holiday locations is because they feel that the majority of British seaside towns have declined and gone into neglect over recent years. This is an interesting idea that we will be looking into further in the zine but in the meantime, here of some of our favourite photos from the seaside over the years...
