Historical projects
Skegness Re-visited will be a series of projects highlighting
historical
events and some of the human interest stories which have
taken place in the holiday resort of
Skegness.
The projects will mostly be of interest to fans of Skegness - current
visitors and tourists who have been visiting the resort for
many
years. But they will also be of interest to people who
are
interested in the development of a traditional British seaside
resort, and - because of the human interest stories - in British
social history.
The aim of the website is to introduce the projects. At present we
have several on-going projects and we will introduce them here
as soon as they are available.

one of the projects. Please note: the format might be
changed.

Format :
Each project will include photographs and other media to enhance your experience of re-visiting Skegness.- The format will be different to the usual format found in `nostalgia' type projects.
Nostalgia and the human interest story
`Nostalgia' perhaps suggests looking back at a period of history from a wishful point of view.
It suggests that we wish those happy carefree days were back again.
During most periods of history there really were some happy carefree days.
But there were also some very difficult times.
The Skegness Revisited series of publications includes those difficult times.
