Chris Bean: A Nostalgic Visit to Skegness

As kids we spent many holidays on the East coast of Lincolnshire.  So this Autumn we decided to re-visit there to see what, if anything, had changed over the years.  Lincolnshire’s coastal resorts were never ‘up-market’ more fish ‘n chips and buckets a spades and over the passing years nothing really seems to have changed.  All images taken on an iPhone.
