Fish and chips are seen in a sea front cafe in Blackpool
Fish and chips are seen in a sea front cafe in Blackpool, northern England September 8, 2013. British beach resorts, which flourished in the 19th century and earlier, have tempted tourists for years with amusement arcades, fairground rides and cheap and cheerful souvenirs. However, as a 2013 report by the Centre for Social Justice states, many seaside towns suffered as from the 1970s it became cheaper and easier for British tourists to travel abroad. Now, according to the Office for National Statistics, larger seaside towns in England suffer from higher-than-average levels of deprivation compared to the rest of the country. Nevertheless, they do continue to attract holiday makers. Picture taken September 8, 2013. REUTERS/Phil Noble (BRITAIN - Tags: SOCIETY TRAVEL) - GM1E99M169J01

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a traditional British seaside experience in Blackpool. The image showcases a plate of mouthwatering fish and chips, an iconic dish enjoyed by locals and tourists alike. Set against the backdrop of a seafront cafe, this snapshot transports us to a time when beach resorts thrived with amusement arcades, fairground rides, and vibrant souvenirs. However, beneath the surface lies a tale of changing times. As highlighted in a 2013 report by the Centre for Social Justice, many seaside towns faced hardships since the 1970s when it became more affordable for British tourists to travel abroad. Consequently, larger coastal towns in England now grapple with higher levels of deprivation compared to other parts of the country. Nevertheless, these resilient destinations continue to attract holidaymakers seeking nostalgia and charm. Despite their challenges, they offer unique experiences that cannot be replicated elsewhere. This photograph serves as both a reminder of cherished traditions and an invitation for visitors to indulge in quintessential British fare while taking in picturesque views along Blackpool's seafront. Taken on September 8th, 2013 by photographer Phil Noble for Reuters Images, this image encapsulates not only culinary delights but also sheds light on the complex dynamics between tourism and socio-economic factors within coastal communities like Blackpool.
