KATHRYN FERRY
A podcast with Kathryn Ferry on the British seaside, Victorian architecture and holiday camps.
Season 2 - EPISODE 2
The seaside, Victorian architecture & holiday camps.
In this episode we focus on this idea of what we do with our spare time, where do we go, why do we go there? What is the history of going to the seaside or going on any sort of holiday. We also talk about Victorian architecture which acts as a backdrop to these big shifts in thinking about leisure, the home and the world beyond the UK.
