A dazzling catalog of architecturally diverse British seaside shelters, left to ruin A testament to the heyday of British summer holidays in the late 19th and early 20th centuries (and the country's notoriously fickle weather), seaside shelters provided a spot for British beachgoers to get out of the sun or the rain. Seaside towns, competing to attract visitors, installed these colorful structures on their beaches in a dizzying array of architectural styles, from Victorian to Art Deco to Bauhaus-inspired. The shelters started to fall into disrepair as low-cost air travel lured British holidaymakers away from the seaside; most of the shelters now stand deserted. In Seaside Shelters , photographer Will Scott celebrates the wide variety of shelters dotting the British coastline, documenting this disappearing vernacular architecture at iconic resorts and lesser-known coastal gems alike, including Blackpool, Great Yarmouth, the Isle of Wight, Clacton-on-Sea, Portsmouth, Aberystwyth, Swanage and Cromer. Will Scott is a photographer and filmmaker specializing in architectural subjects. Ongoing photographic projects include Seaside Shelters and The Architecture of the Underground . Scott's photography has been featured in the Financial Times and on the BBC website. He is based in London and Edinburgh.
