Beskrivelse
Stretching from the Ribble Estuary to the River Kent, the Lancashire coast provides both spectacular views and glimpses of the county's industrial heritage. As the Industrial Revolution took hold in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Lancashire flourished, producing over 80 per cent of the world's cotton. People flocked to the county's beautiful coastline, and towns like Lytham St Annes, Blackpool and Morecambe became popular coastal resorts. Although much has changed over the years, Lancashire's coastline still retains many of its traditional features. In Lancashire Coast Through Time, local historian Jack Smith charts these various developments and brings together a comparative collection of old and new photographs. Join the author as he delves into the history of the towns and villages along this picturesque coastline, showcasing its many points of interest and awakening treasured memories.
