EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Blast from the Past: Derby Avenue, Skegness, Lincolnshire, England, 1922" Derby Avenue in Skegness, Lincolnshire, England, as captured in this black-and-white photograph from 1922, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of this popular coastal resort town. The image shows a bustling scene of activity, with people of all ages enjoying the seaside atmosphere. In the foreground, children play on the sandy beach, building sandcastles and collecting seashells. A group of adults, dressed in fashionable attire of the era, stroll along the promenade, some stopping to admire the view or chat with friends. In the background, the iconic Skegness Pier stretches out into the North Sea, a popular destination for visitors seeking entertainment and excitement. Derby Avenue itself is lined with elegant Victorian and Edwardian houses, many of which still stand today. These buildings were originally built to accommodate the growing number of tourists who flocked to Skegness in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The avenue's name is believed to have been inspired by the Derby family, who owned much of the land in the area at the time. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the transport methods of the era, with horse-drawn carriages and bicycles visible on the streets. The arrival of the railway in Skegness in the late 1800s had made the town more accessible to visitors from across the country, leading to its rise as a popular seaside destination. Today, Derby Avenue remains a beloved part of Skegness, offering a charming blend of history and modern seaside charm. Visitors can still enjoy the beautiful beach, take a stroll along the promenade, or explore the many shops, cafes, and attractions that line the avenue. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history and enduring appeal of this beloved English seaside town.
