A woman walks down a side road towards the Tower in Blackpool

A woman walks down a side road towards the Tower 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) - GM1E99M173G01

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, taken on September 8,2013, a woman gracefully strolls down a quiet side road towards the iconic Tower in Blackpool, northern England. The image encapsulates the allure and nostalgia of British beach resorts that once thrived during the 19th century. With amusement arcades, fairground rides, and an array of affordable souvenirs, these coastal towns have long enticed tourists seeking leisurely escapes. However, as highlighted by a report from the Centre for Social Justice in 2013, many seaside towns faced hardships since the 1970s when it became more economical and convenient for British holidaymakers to venture abroad. Consequently, larger seaside towns across England now grapple with higher levels of deprivation compared to other areas within the country—a fact revealed by data from the Office for National Statistics. Nonetheless, against all odds and despite their struggles with socio-economic challenges, these coastal destinations continue to attract visitors year after year. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of both past glory and present resilience; it captures not only one woman's solitary journey but also symbolizes the enduring spirit of these beloved seaside communities. Photographer Phil Noble masterfully freezes this moment in time—showcasing how even amidst adversity there is beauty to be found along every path we tread.
