Rummaging a little more, this 1960s postcard suggests the Octagon started with a flat roof that has subsequently been converted into the pitch roof. Possibly after the first winter storms. #NationalSeasideDay @seasideferry.bsky.social

A huge plastic 99 with a flake ice-cream cone bolted to the side of a circular canopy. Beyond it is a glimpse of Edwardian houses and a 1930s seafront theatre.

Since it's #NationalSeasideDay, here's a couple of shots of the Octagon in Exmouth, Devon, taken back in April.

I don't need an excuse to share pictures from my new book on #twentiethcenturyseasidearchitecture but it IS #NationalSeasideDay so it's almost obligatory.

Happy #NationalSeasideDay 🏖️

Today we are celebrating a particular type of theatre – the pier theatre

An important part of seaside economies from 1860s but from WW2 many became neglected

There are now only 6 pier theatres left in the UK

How's this for keeping cool on #NationalSeasideDay? Sent in 1913 to Master Hebburn in Shaftesbury Road, London:
Dear Stan, I hope you are going on alright as I am having nice time down at Burnham. I have swam in the river twice so far but shall go in again soon. Your friend Sid.

For #NationalSeasideDay - once again remembering the split-level space station amusement arcade at #BlackpoolTower's #ApolloPlayground - EMI's Robert Nesbitt with astronaut lift operators in May 1970. There must be someone apart from me who remembers it!

We especially love seasides and have found many quiet spots to record from, away from the crowds.

The iconic Durdle Door in Dorset is one of our highlights.
