Interactive map celebrates treasured landmarks around England's coast
The public body said the tool aims to celebrate the country's vibrant seaside heritage, and people are being encouraged to share information about coastal landmarks that hold personal significance.
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.'

Best places in Britain to buy a cottage revealed
With their quirkiness and charm, living in a cottage is a dream for many people, and analysis by a property website has pinpointed locations in Britain where home buyers are most likely to snap one up at a bargain price. North Lanarkshire in Scotland topped Zoopla's affordability list, with a cottage typically priced at £83,500. This is followed by Sunderland in the North East of England where those looking for a cottage could expect to pay an average of £115,000. The 'cottagecore' aesthetic that romanticises rural life and encourages simple living and traditional skills has become a popular trend in recent years. Some cottage buyers may also have inspiration from the cosy, rural home depicted in romantic comedy film The Holiday, starring Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz. Zoopla said that 'cottage' was the fourth most-searched for term on its website in 2024. Among those aiming for a lifestyle brimming with bucolic bliss, the analysis reveals where this is translating into market demand for cottages. In the North West of England, Blackburn with Darwen is a hotspot for buyer inquiries, with an average asking price for a cottage at £157,500, Zoopla said. It added that Southampton leads the way in the South East, with a median average asking price of £280,000. Other areas attracting significant attention include East Renfrewshire in Scotland, where a cottage has an average asking price of £100,000, Zoopla said. Neath Port Talbot in Wales appeals to buyers drawn to its beautiful coastal and valley landscapes, with an average price tag of £170,000, the website added. Bradford in West Yorkshire is another hotspot, with an average asking price of £200,000. Buyers are attracted by its rich industrial history, cultural scene and some of the most affordable prices in the region, according to Zoopla. For those looking for choice, Derbyshire Dales has the biggest proportion of cottages for sale, with around a fifth (21.4%) of homes on the market being cottages, the website's analysis found. Daniel Copley, a consumer expert at Zoopla, said: 'Our data shows a clear and sustained appetite for the cottagecore lifestyle, a trend that shows no signs of slowing down. 'While the dream of a quaint, rural cottage is often associated with high prices, our analysis highlights that affordability can still be found across the country. From the rolling hills of North Lanarkshire to the coastal charm of Sunderland, there are options for prospective buyers on a range of budgets. 'We're seeing this desire for a simpler life translate into market demand, with specific areas becoming hotspots for buyer interest. Whether you're a first-time buyer or looking for a change of pace, the cottage market offers diverse opportunities.' Nigel Bishop, founder of buying agency Recoco Property Search, said: 'There has always been a fan base of buyers who appreciate the typically charming designs and quaint surroundings associated with a cottage. 'Many house hunters also express favouring this style of home for size as cottages tend to be smaller than typical country homes and are therefore considered to be more manageable and could reduce running costs. 'Often set in rural locations, buyers need to ensure that the setting works for them long term, as some amenities such as shops and hospitals can be further away which can become inconvenient. 'Demand for cottages remains strong, however, and house hunters should brace for a competitive property search – particularly for cottages with a lower asking price as they tend to attract multiple offers.' Zoopla analysed homes available for sale between January and May 2025, with London generally excluded. Here are the areas in regions and nations of Britain where cottages are typically the least expensive, according to Zoopla. The figures show the median average asking price for a cottage: East Midlands, Amber Valley, £206,000 East of England, Fenland, £249,000 North East, Sunderland, £115,000 North West, Blackburn with Darwen, £157,500 Scotland, North Lanarkshire, £83,500 South East, Southampton, £280,000 South West, Plymouth, £248,500 Wales, Rhondda Cynon Taf, £129,500 West Midlands, Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme, £238,000 Yorkshire and the Humber, Bradford, £200,000 Here are the areas in regions and nations of Britain where cottages are typically the most expensive, according to Zoopla. The figures show the median average asking price for a cottage: East Midlands, South Northamptonshire and Gedling, £400,000 East of England, Welwyn Hatfield, £662,500 North East, Northumberland, £300,000 North West, Cheshire West and Chester, £375,000 Scotland, East Lothian, £381,000 South East, Slough, £824,500 South West, Gloucester, £531,500 Wales, Monmouthshire, £442,500 West Midlands, North Warwickshire, £615,000 Yorkshire and the Humber, York, £400,000 Here are the areas in each region or nation where cottages are attracting the biggest concentrations of buyer inquiries, according to Zoopla, with the median average asking price of a cottage: Scotland, East Renfrewshire, £100,000 Wales, Neath Port Talbot, £170,000 Yorkshire and the Humber, Bradford, £200,000 South East, Southampton, £280,000 North East, Sunderland, £115,000 West Midlands, Stoke-on-Trent, £238,000 South West, Plymouth, £248,500 East of England, Hertsmere, £485,000 East Midlands, Leicester, £325,000 North West, Blackburn with Darwen, £157,500

Bournemouth airport faces potential shutdown as workers ballot for strike over pay
Bournemouth Airport could be shut down next month as almost 80 workers are being balloted on whether to take strike action. It comes just a day after it was announced that the airport's operator has been sold to an international investment firm. The workers, members of the UK's leading union Unite, include plane fuellers, baggage handlers, security and check-in staff and flight dispatchers among others. With workers in so many sections of the airport involved in the dispute any strikes would close the airport thus grounding all flights for the period of the stoppage, and causing flights into the airport to be delayed or cancelled. Union members unanimously rejected a pay offer of 4.5 per cent for the lowest paid bringing them up to £12.22 per hour, then 3 per cent for the higher paid members. Many workers claim they have struggled with the cost of living crisis and believe that given increased costs of essentials this equates to a real terms pay cut. Bournemouth Airport increased all of its airport charges by 5 per cent as well as investing over £50 million in expanding the airport due to increased passenger numbers. Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: "Bournemouth Airport is putting its own interests over those of the workers. We appreciate it is investing in its future, but members must not be left behind in the pursuit of that. "Our hardworking members deserve a fair pay rise and Unite will back them every step of the way." The ballot closes on Wednesday, August 20, and strike action could happen as early as the first week of September. Regional officer Janet Wall said: "We recognise that any flight cancellations and delays would be extremely disruptive and frustrating for travellers but our members feel they have had no choice but to start balloting for strike action. "This is entirely the fault of the employer, who is financially prospering while our members struggle to afford the basics. We urge Bournemouth Airport to come back to the table and present Unite with a meaningful offer to avoid strikes." Bournemouth Airport serves over 950,000 passengers a year and offers flights to 34 direct destinations across Europe and North Africa primarily operated by airlines such as TUI and Ryanair. Bournemouth Airport has been approached for comment.

Travellers pitch up encampment at field in Taunton
TRAVELLERS have pitched up an encampment near a school in Taunton this week. A large group, believed to have moved in at some time late last night (Sunday, August 3), have set up camp at Stoney Furlong field in Taunton.

There are at least eight campers at the Taunton field, along with BBQs, chairs, and other essentials. Travellers have set up an encampment at Stoney Furlong field in Taunton. (Image: Harry Mockridge/Newsquest) Councillor Tom Deakin, who lives in Taunton and represents the O'bridge area of the town, has recognised the encampment and has released a statement. Cllr Deakin said: "Firstly, thank you to all residents who have been in touch since late last night to bring this encampment to my attention. "I have been working with officers at Somerset Council throughout the day as they follow the legal processes they are required to do so. The correct notices have been served and the appropriate legal action will now be undertaken. The group have indicated that they intend to remain for around 5-7 days. "I share the immense frustration of people in our community and I appreciate that feelings run high at moments like these however I have done nothing but my best to prevent this from happening again since the previous incursion a few weeks ago." Cllr Deakin has written to the relevant councillors and officers regarding the encampment. He said that anyone who has any questions can contact him. "Some of the comments and messages I have received have been truly upsetting to read," Cllr Deakin added. "I became a local Councillor because I wanted to make a difference to my area, which I am working hard to do alongside my full-time job and other commitments we all have in life. "I've only ever tried my best for my community since being elected. A community I am proud to live in and be a part of. If people feel that I don't care then that saddens me more than anything else because it couldn't be further from the truth "I will keep doing all I can on this issue, and all other things impacting our area. "If anyone has any questions, or would like any further information, please do let me know. I'll continue to keep you updated over the coming days."
