I think quite a few Londoners have already made the trip. I went a few weeks ago and my sister, like you, was also visiting on Saturday. I have been searching your photographs to see if I can spot her.

Great piece,dg.

The Midland Hotel in Morecambe has also just reopened for business.

And what a brilliant architect Mendelsohn was in his own right. See this sadly vanished masterpiece from 1931(!) in Berlin.

I love the old 1930s art-deco architecture with its big windows. To me, this is like one of the old hotels you might see on Miami Beach. I think it's great that the council have spent the money carefully modernising the pavilion rather than demolishing it to make room for yet more expensive flats.

DYK Delaware is named after the de la Warr's?

For a bit of De La Warr in Estonia, see Rannahotell and Rannakohvik on FLICKR.

A true Art Deco icon, this is a fantastic building, and those stairs.

By "the UK" you mean "England and Aberystwyth".

I went there in 1972. It was the first time I ever bought a drink at a bar (coke...)

I seem to remember there being a model village in the area which much impressed 4-year-old me!
