Interactive map celebrates treasured landmarks around England's coast
As part of Historic England's Missing Pieces Project, people are asked to submit photos, drawings, written information or audio recordings about landmarks that hold a special place in their hearts.
This could be a childhood holiday destination or a local landmark that symbolises home.
The map celebrates nearly 300 years of seaside history, from elegant Victorian piers to beloved 20th century amusement parks, among destinations that welcome millions of visitors each year.
Among the landmarks on the map are the Big Dipper at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, which was built in 1923 and is the second oldest in-use rollercoaster in Britain, after the Scenic Railway at Dreamland Amusement Park in Margate, Kent.
The Big Dipper is one of only 37 pre-Second World War wooden rollercoasters worldwide, of which four are at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
The Pleasure Pier at Southend-on-Sea in Essex, believed to be the longest pier in the world, is also on the map.
It was first constructed in 1889 with later additions and rebuilds.
The art deco, lido Jubilee Pool in Penzance, Cornwall; Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland; De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex; Peasholm Park in Scarborough, North Yorkshire; and the Palace Pier in Brighton also feature.
Duncan Wilson, chief executive, Historic England, said: 'Our seaside places hold a special place in our national story, yet the full richness of their heritage cannot be captured without the first-hand accounts, images and memories of those who've experienced them.
'I encourage people to contribute to the Missing Pieces Project, so we can all help ensure these treasured coastal landmarks are celebrated.'
Heritage Minister, Baroness Twycross, said: 'Our seaside communities play a huge role in telling our national story.
'I encourage everyone to contribute to the Missing Pieces Project to preserve the history of our coastal towns and breathe new life into their future.'

I visited seaside town with two of UK's best fish and chip shops — living here would be like winning lottery
I left feeling relaxed, refreshed and very full of good food — this town should be at the top of your list to visit It's a quaint seaside town boasting everything you need for a quiet getaway — and it has instantly become one of my very favourite places after one visit. Just a short drive from two of the UK's biggest cities is a quiet destination with boutique cafes, top rated restaurants, boutique cafes and even two of the country's best chippies. Lytham is a charming coastal town in Lancashire, celebrated for its community atmosphere, peaceful beach and picturesque park. Each year it comes alive with Lytham Festival, drawing some of the biggest names in music, with recent headliners including Stevie Wonder, Justin Timberlake, Alanis Morrissette, and Kings of Leon. I might have missed this but I wouldn't trade my visit for the world. The trip left me feeling rested, recharged and contemplating swapping my city lifestyle for a place by the seaside. My partner and I stayed on the water in the Queens Pub and Hotel, a Victorian Grade II listed building with fantastic views over Lytham Green. The centuries old accommodation was the perfect resting place though there was also plenty to keep us entertained throughout the evening with its lively outdoor beer garden. The decor was timeless, with four poster bed, ornate wood sculpted furniture and a muted colour palette that made me feel like I was stepping into a black and white picture. When I wasn't outside myself, I was enjoying the view of countless runners and dog walkers from the window. Lytham's town centre is small — you can walk from one end to the other in a few short minutes even at a slow pace. But what it lacks in distance it more than makes up for in an abundance of charm and businesses that prove quality beats quantity every time. The Clifton Walk Shopping Arcade offers visitors a charming back-alley experience for those searching for gifts, cards or street food. It's been years since I've seen an arcade so well kept and full of people, which only solidifies the town's timeless character. The cafes were packed and I found myself at a loss to where to sit. Places like Apricot and Central Beach had brunch fans queuing out the doors but I eventually found a massive chicken and bacon ciabatta in Trevino Lounge to watch the world go by. Lytham also boasts two of the country's best chippies, Whelan's and The Haven, named as such by The Times in a recent list. The centre is filled with flowers, trees, and lush greenery, creating a relaxed atmosphere where no one seemed in a hurry, allowing me to take my time and soak it all in. During my visit, there just so happened to be a free ice cream festival taking place in Lowther Gardens, so naturally I went for a nosey. Although small and contained compared to most food and drink events, I spent 30 minutes perusing the craft stalls, enjoying the food fragrances wafting through the air, and simply admiring the scenery. There was plenty for kids to enjoy too, with fun fair rides and entertainment for all ages. Despite a few light showers appearing during my visit, everyone remained in high spirits regardless. I spent most of my time wandering around the town, admiring the scenery and enjoying the little secrets I'd find on my stroll. It was incredibly refreshing to put your phone away and feel like you're part of a little community away from the rest of the world. As evening approached, my partner and I stopped by the Ship and Royal pub, a traditional spot that gave us a taste of the town's lively nightlife. The once-quiet seaside town transforms after dark, with locals spilling out of pubs and beer gardens. I was genuinely surprised by just how vibrant the scene could be. Lytham is great for a drink but, in a surprise to no one, not the place for a night club crawl, though I still thoroughly enjoyed the pints and cocktails I put away over the weekend regardless, and I found the locals more than willing to strike up a conversation. We decided to spend the majority of our Saturday evening dining in Lytham's go-to restaurant, Lytham House. With an AA Rosette under its belt, the brasserie boasts stunning interiors across two floors, with a lively cocktail bar taking guests through the night. The menu offers a contemporary twist on British favourites, satisfying even the pickiest of palates. I went for a surf and turf selection featuring oysters, scallops, and spiced duck for the main course but the gluttonous side of me wanted a little bit of everything. From the warm welcome and charming setting to the flawlessly cooked pink duck, the experience lived up to venue's reputation. You'd think a walk home at night would be nothing special but even then there was beauty to behold. Lytham Windmill Museum comes to life in the dark, illuminated in a soft pink glow that captures your attention from miles away on the coast. We made a point to walk past our hotel just to see it up close - and it was worth it. Lytham felt like escaping into a bubble away from the rest of the world. Time felt slower and everything more relaxed as if there wasn't a care to be had. The scenery was gorgeous and there was quite an amount on offer for tourists or general visitors like myself. And don't even get me started on the massive houses that have been saved from a life of modern renovations to become multi-story apartments or BandBs. To own a home facing Lytham Green would be like winning the lottery. The quiet seaside town should be at the top of your list to visit.

Locals in destination packed with tourists buy 'Island of Death' to escape
A group of Venetian locals seeking relief from their tourist-crowded city have secured a lease for an abandoned isle with a notably disturbing and tragic history Venetian locals seeking refuge from overtourism have taken possession of a long-abandoned island with a haunting history. The locals purchased the island just for themselves - the only catch? It's the site of a plague pit and former asylum. Poveglia is a spot of land between Venice and the Lido - which separates the Venetian lagoon with the Adriatic Sea. It is Poveglia that will become the haven for those who live in the tourist hotbed come August 1, 2025. Despite the harrowing history of the island, the locals had to beat out property developers to ensure Poveglia remained a public asset. Locals now have a 99-year lease from the Italian state and seek to change it into an urban park open exclusively to residents of the Italian city. The 7.5 hectare island was put on an auction list by the Italian State Property Agency in 2014. It was the activist group Poveglia per Tutti (Poveglia for Everyone) and its 4,500 members that managed to nab the island after raising €460,000 (£398,700) to secure the lease. The triumphant story of the locals stands in juxtaposition with the island's gruesome history. Known as the 'Island of Death', Poveglia was home to a psychiatric hospital after the Second World War with a rumoured 'mad' doctor. It is also estimated that around 100,000 people lost their lives on the tiny isle as the bubonic plague ravaged Italy in the 1700s. Legend says that you can still hear the cries of the plague victims from the quarantine station. Whether you believe the local legend or not, it's hard to argue that the island has a notably dark past. Landmarks like the San Vitale church were also destroyed when Napoleon Bonaparte passed through. Today, the church bell tower, deserted hospital and prison are among the few remaining structures. However, having been long abandoned, the structures are quite unsafe and thus the island remains closed to visitors. That said, because the island is state-owned, interested travellers can seek special permission from the Municipality to visit. Typically, such permission is granted for purposes like film crews, photography projects, or research. And again, after the restoration by Poveglia per Tutti, the island will only be open to other Venetian locals. According to the group, overtourism has necessitated a space for locals to reclaim their beloved home. Venice welcomes an estimated 30 million tourists annually and has taken increasing measures to reduce the offset the number of visitors. One such measure is the five-euro tourist tax implemented in 2024 during peak times. Another measure ensures that cruise ships can no longer dock close to the lagoon city. Patrizia Veclani, founder of Poveglia per Tutti, told CNN that her group sees this as a small victory in reclaiming Venice from overtourism. 'The island would never have been as popular as other places,' Veclani said, 'but keeping this small space just for Venetians is a victory.'

Beautiful UK seaside town is 'chippy capital' with gorgeous golden beaches
Scarborough, a picturesque seaside town in North Yorkshire, England, is renowned for its stunning coastline offering breathtaking views of the North Sea As summer draws near, countless Brits are plotting their getaways. Yet there's no need to travel abroad for a magnificent coastal break. That is because the UK is not only home to some of the most beautiful seaside towns in the world, but it is also the home of the world's premier coastal snack, fish and chips. And one place more than any other is an exponent of the delicious, deep-fried treat. Scarborough, the charming seaside resort in North Yorkshire, England, is celebrated for its dramatic shoreline, providing spectacular vistas across the North Sea, and its embrace of the chippy tea. The Yorkshire town has 85.35 chippies per 100,000 residents, meaning it blessed with by far the highest concentration of fryers in the country - beating East Lindsey and its 62.23/100,000 firmly into second place. This is according to a study by Suomikasinot. This classic seaside town has long drawn visitors with its harbour views, sandy beaches and love for proper fish and chips. With fresh North Sea catch on the doorstep and plenty of hungry tourists, Scarborough has a chip shop for nearly every 1,200 residents. It has much else to offer. The town sits close to the North York Moors National Park and features towering cliffs, sandy shores, and Scarborough Castle, positioned atop a headland gazing out over the waters. In 2023, Time Out magazine declared it amongst Britain's finest places to visit. CN Traveller has also crowned it the "most beautiful seaside resort in England" thanks to its fascinating heritage. The publication wrote: "The dramatic castle occupies the headland which separates the two main bays – steep cliffs stretching away in both directions. The old town ascends the slope to the castle in a maze of crooked streets, with buildings dating back to Tudor times." What distinguishes Scarborough are the distinctive experiences on offer whilst taking in the scenery. One essential stop is the colourful Scarborough Fair Collection, housing Europe's most extensive array of vintage rides and transport. This attraction delivers not just an unusual perspective on history but features dodgems, slot machines, a carousel and the opportunity to savour afternoon tea whilst enjoying a theatrical performance. Scarborough's Rotunda Museum is a must-see, offering a journey back 65 million years with its impressive collection of fossils, dinosaur footprints and even a Speeton Plesiosaur skeleton. Entry is free for under 18s and only £5 for adults, which also includes admission to the Scarborough Art Gallery. But no seaside holiday would be complete without a visit to the beach, and Scarborough boasts two stunning ones - North and South Bay. South Bay Beach is ideal for a family day out. Loved since Victorian times, it still offers attractions like donkey rides and a bustling promenade brimming with activities. North Bay Beach, however, is a quieter spot perfect for relaxation or a leisurely stroll. With its rock pools and charming vintage beach huts set against a backdrop of beautiful hills and cliffs, it's a dream for photographers. The two beaches are separated by the ruins of the grand Scarborough Castle. This 12th-century castle has weathered Viking attacks and played a significant role as a royalist stronghold during the Civil War. After a day of exploration, the Scarborough Castle Great Tea Room is a must-visit, boasting breathtaking views of both beaches and offering homemade cakes, jams, and other cosy treats.
