Seaside town
Badplaatsen in Engeland kennen een rijke historie. Al in de 18e eeuw bezochten welgestelde aristocraten de engelse strandoorden voor recreatie en ontspanning. Sinds de groeiende welvaart van de arbeidersklasse door de industrialisering werden badplaatsen ook voor het grote publiek een gewilde vakantiebestemming. Met de welvaart groeide ook het massatoerisme. Vanaf de jaren '60 echter werden vakanties buiten Engeland populair; badplaatsen aan de engelse kust verloren status en raakten geleidelijk aan in verval.

Seaside towns have existed in England for a long time. In the Victorian era sea resorts were places for wealthy people to relax. Later on as the working class emerged, sea towns welcomed the common people as holiday destination. Prosperity grew as well as mass tourism.
However vacations outside England became more popular, seaside towns lost their prosperity and fell into decline.
