Interesting article in the Guardian today about the Great British Seaside Resort. Well, interesting to those of us (like me) who grew up in such a place.
It seems that far from dying off quietly as everyone thought they doing, these towns have been enjoying a quiet resurgence over the last few years. In fact my old home town of Clacton in Essex has had a increase in population of 70% over the last thirty years.
I really didn't enjoy growing up in Clacton. I moved to London as soon as I could and have stayed here ever since. But I have to admit to a nagging nostalgia for the place and it's nice to hear it's doing well.
