A talk on Twentieth Century Seaside Architecture takes place at The Atkinson on Lord Street in Southport this Thursday (2nd October 2025), from 7pm.
The event is free for members or £5 for members of the public. Pay on the door.
This will focus on the architecture of pools, piers and pleasure around Britain’s coast
Grab your bucket and spade and enjoy a nostalgic stroll around Britain’s seaside architecture.
In this illustrated talk, based on her new book, author and historian Dr Kathryn Ferry uses picture postcards to highlight how design trends including Art Deco, Mid-Century Modern and Brutalism, shaped our seafronts between 1920 and 2000.
Southport highlights will include Southport Pier – which was recently awarded up to £20 million for its restoration – and the former Southport Sea Bathing Lake.
