Beside the Seaside: Railways and holiday resorts talk
Thu 5 Feb
Mickleover Library
About the Event
This illustrated talk examines the growth of major British seaside resorts from the 19th century to the present day.
We examine the way in which railways shaped the holiday industry, how they determined the catchment areas of the resorts, and how the railways affected the physical development of the resorts.
Places must be booked. Call Mickleover library on 01332 647884 or pop into the library to book a place.
