Do you remember the smell of vinegar on chips, the sound of the Wurlitzer rising from the pit, and the particular joy of a British summer by the sea?

For millions of British families in the 1950s and 1960s, the seaside was everything - Wakes Week at Blackpool, the pier show twice nightly, the landlady's rules, the Illuminations stretching six miles into the dark. This book brings that world back, question by question, with the accuracy and dignity it deserves.

125 multiple choice questions cover:

  • Blackpool's Tower, Ballroom, three piers, and legendary Illuminations
  • Butlin's, Pontin's, and the golden age of the British holiday camp
  • Brighton, Scarborough, Llandudno, Barry Island, Portrush, and beyond
  • The boarding house landladies, Wakes Weeks, and the charabanc to the coast
  • Pier shows, variety entertainers, Punch and Judy, and the end-of-season quiet
  • Gracie Fields, Ken Dodd, George Formby, and the comedians who made summer
  • The package holiday that changed everything - and what the British seaside still offers
