UK seaside resort- was originally two seperate towns, but then in victorian era (when the railway was developed in 1886) by 1906 faster connection between london was made, only taking 3 hours.
The first tourists were wealthy, hence the grandest hotels were made on the seafront. By 1930's, the seaside resorts continued to grow, this time attracting the working population due to improved working conditions from the unions (longer holidays and better pay). cheaper accomodation was built further inland.
By 1950's/1960's, was the BOOM for seaside resorts,holiday camps such as butlins was created, and the average wage increased to more people were able to go on day trips.
By 1970's/1980's, Cromer declines, cheaper package holidays were taken instead to places where sunshine was guaranteed!
2000's, Cromer REGROWS as people retire, and move to coastal areas, after selling their houses in the city for a lot of money to live off, to then have a more relaxed lifestyle. "Weekend Away" developed as the working man had longer holidays and more money to spend.
