From today @HistoricEngland are running a summer campaign to add YOUR seaside stories to the #MissingPiecesProject. They'd like you to add details about your favourite listed buildings to create a better picture of our #seasideheritage
By adding your story, you're helping build a more complete picture of England's cherished seaside heritage. Share your seaside stories here: ➡️ bit.ly/SeasideStories
What drives people to spend £45,000 on a beach hut? It's a good question that I help answer in this article telegraph.co.uk/travel/destina…
Cleethorpes back on the cultural map! I love seeing festivals and indie food breathe new life into our historic seaside towns—feels like the coast is having a real renaissance.

Have you seen this new book from @modernistmag? It's all about the Danish-inspired Welsh holiday homes built by Hird and Brooks in the 1970s. My cabins are usually on the coast so I'm looking forward to reading about their forest cousins - and the pics are FAB! #CabinCrew
The furniture must-have for 1953 - the Tele-Circle for 'better viewing'
