@basylpeterjones In summer for day trips and maybe a stag/hen weekend but the era when factory workers and their families would stay in a b & b for a week are long gone. As the guy in the video says cheap air travel started the beginning of the end of families having holidays in Britain.

@basylpeterjones Yes but Brighton is a 45 minute train commute to London so more people still want to live there. And are prepared to put money into business there. And it gets more warm sunny weather than Blackpool.

Or if not the government (as it takes so long for them to do anything outside of London) but local property developers.

@zzhughesd I'm guessing you are being sarcastic as it definitely rains in Cheshire! Rain due from Wednesday and all the way to the weekend.

They have all of those things already but that's not enough to make people visit in autumn and winter.

No it's been in decline since even the 1980's. As you say you'll stay there for a weekend but you wouldn't want to spend a week or longer for a holiday in Blackpool.

Yes Scarborough is still nice and popular. Same with Great Yarmouth.

@wanderingturnip Great Yarmouth is also another seaside resort doing pretty well.

I don't really get what's so good about Sandbanks . Nice views but it's still in Britain and not the Bahamas!

That's part of the problem though as all the focus is on the prom. Whereas places like Brighton have more to offer .

You can tell from the state of most of the buildings that they have been empty for years before the lockdown.
