This is a tricky one - Britannia Hotels arguably saved some of the grandest hotels at the British seaside but they have failed to invest in these buildings as key heritage assets.

Britannia’s older seaside hotels provide a striking backdrop to current debates: ‘The crumbling seaside palaces at the centre of Britain’s asylum crisis.’ I stayed in The Grand, Scarborough once, not recommended. I do love Scarborough though. @seasidenetwork.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/7068...

For #YorkshireDay, some lovely bright mid-C20th postcards of Yorkshire #seaside resorts- Redcar, Bridlington, Filey & Scarborough- evoking memories of ice cream cones, sand between the toes & strong whiffs of suntan lotion that you just don't get any more.
