Seaside Architecture

Lynn Pearson was brought up at the seaside, near Britain's most easterly point at Lowestoft in Suffolk. She has been writing about the seaside since the 1980s. See her publications for details. This page offers a variety of seaside pdf files (you will need acrobat reader) to read or download.

Published October 2008 the new, totally revised edition of Piers and Other Seaside Architecture. From the C20 Magazine review of Piers: 'It's definitely a good introduction, and light to pack if you are planning a trip.' Buy Piers on Amazon.

Lynn has been carrying out research on Maxwell & Tuke, the architects of Blackpool Tower for a new entry in the online Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, publication 22 September 2011.
