Oh I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside

The British Seaside

Send us your old seaside snaps for a chance to win a digital camera.

'Oh I do like to be beside the seaside..'  This quintessential British music hall song, written in 1907 by John A. Glover-Kind, encapsulates all that once was on a trip to the Britsh seaside. 

The promenades and piers with their brass bands, fresh cockles, fish 'n' chips wrapped in newspaper, Punch & Judy, shoreline donkey rides, and of course, those risque saucy post cards. 

View The Entries In The Gallery

You can view the entries in the Great British Seaside Gallery - and a big thank you to those who have sent in their photos.  I am sure you will agree they look fantastic and are a lovely trip down memory lane. 

The tragic fire at the historic Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare earlier this year is the reason we decided to launch the 50connect Great British Seaside Competition.

To see your seaside snaps, visit our Great British Seaside Competition Gallery.

Have your say...
