About Dr. Kathryn Ferry - Filey Evron Centre

Festival favourite Kathryn Ferry's latest book is a nostalgic exploration of Britain's distinctive and significant seafront buildings from the 1920s tothe new millennium. British seaside resorts enjoyed phenomenal popularity for much of the twentieth century. Kathryn's book examines how resort architecture around the UK coast kept pace with changing fashions and the growing competition from foreign destinations.She highlights the inherent playfulness of seaside architecture as it evolved from interwar classicism, through art deco and international modernism, to Festival of Britain inspired mid-century style, and later to seafront tower blocks and the artificial beaches of 1970s leisure centres. Featuring a wide range of building types, Twentieth Century Seaside Architecture explores everything from beach huts and bandstands to lidos, piers, theatres, hotels and amusement arcades.
