These retro scenes show everything from erecting the ‘beehive’ tents to taking a break at the tea hut.
We have the excellent Hartlepool Museum Service and Hartlepool Library Service for the images and we thank them for their support.
So if you fancy a reminder of days by the seaside in an era from yesteryear, take a look.
