Description
Beach huts have become seaside icons. They may be small structures with basic facilities but we still love them. They feel quintessentially British, combining a shelter from our changeable weather with a place to brew a mug of tea. This title tells the story of how beach huts came into being and why they remain so beloved by their owners.
