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.'

Inside is a bedroom and living space, kitchenette and bathroom. The blended bedroom and living space has been fitted with bright pink carpets and curtains, the panelled ceiling is white and blue and there are Victorian style lights and wallpaper. Guests can sleep on the double bed, and in the daytime there are two bright blue bucket chairs to sit on. The kitchenette is kitted out with a toaster, kettle, teapot, mini fridge and there's a radio for a singalong too.

Victorian station reveals huge step forward with new train platforms, footbridge & multi-storey car park in £140m revamp
DARLINGTON station is getting a massive £140million makeover – and it's already underway. Two brand new platforms are being built, as well as a shiny new multi-storey car park, and passengers have been promised fewer delays. 6 The revamp is being led by Tees Valley Combined Authority, Darlington Borough Council, and LNER. As well as new platforms, there will be a fully enclosed footbridge to link them to the current building. It will be completely step-free and accessible for everyone. But that's not all. Cyclists are being catered for too, with new bike lanes and shelters on the way. In the car park, there'll be room for over 600 cars, electric vehicle chargers, and plenty of accessible parking bays. Work inside the existing Grade II listed station is in full swing, with teams cracking on behind hoardings on Platform 1 to install new lifts, staircases, and the future footbridge. The shortcut between Platforms 1 and 4 is shut for now, so passengers will need to follow signs around the back near Platforms 2 and 3 – and that's the way it'll stay until Autumn 2025. But don't worry – the trains are still running as usual. Engineers have been rebuilding the railway bridge to help more trains get through the station in future. It's taken longer than expected, but the road is now set to reopen on 7 November 2025. Over on the Eastern Gateway, work has started on a striking new pedestrian bridge that'll link the old and new parts of the station. Foundations are being laid, and in a bold move, a hole will be cut in the Victorian station roof over Christmas – between 24 and 27 December – to slide the new bridge into place while trains are off. Meanwhile, the new Platforms 5 and 6 are starting to take shape, with work on the track layout kicking off this autumn. Fresh ballast will be laid and new track going down and all the complicated kit that lets trains switch lines will be installed near where the line heads off towards Bishop Auckland. Once it's all done – by the end of 2025 – the upgrade will give passengers more choice, fewer delays and a much better station experience. This comes after a series of satellite images of the development of a new £15million train station were revealed. The station, which will be the newest addition to the Dartmoor Line, connecting West Devon, Torridge and North Cornwall with Exeter and beyond, will also benefit education and leisure services in the region. GWR Regional Growth Manager David Whiteway said the project would provide "valuable support for the community and local economies". Satellite images show the rapid development of the £15million scheme, which is being funded by the Department for Transport with contributions from Devon County Council and West Devon Borough Council. Since work began in January, major progress has been made to create the new station on the edge of Okehampton, two minutes from the A30. In March, 300 metres of the single-line track was moved 90cm north to allow a new platform to be built alongside it. The previous track layout didn't allow for a platform to be built that meets regulations for new stations. New track and 20 concrete sleepers were installed in the new alignment and 1,000 tonnes of ballast (track stone) laid and compacted. Drainage work also took place with two new chambers built under the track and 300 tonnes of stone laid to allow water to flow away from the railway. Work is also ongoing to build a 200-space car park and station platform. Network Rail lead portfolio manager Alex Phillips said the past six months had seen "strong momentum on this important project, with several significant milestones reached". 6 6 6 6 6

Scotland's 'best family friendly' hotels named for summer getaway with the kids
Accommodation in the Borders and the Highlands were singled out. Scotland's "best family friendly hotels" have been named. From the Scottish Borders to the Highlands, hotels up and down the country were singled out. On Thursday, July 24, Condé Nast Traveller published a list of the top hotels in the country for a family getaway. In total, eight accommodation options are featured on the roundup. Among the hotels that were singled out by the experts is The Balmoral Hotel on Princes Street in Edinburgh. Owned by Rocco Forte Hotels, the hotel is one of the most recognisable landmarks in the Scottish capital. The Balmoral features a number of rooms and suites specifically catered towards families. According to the Rocco Forte Hotels website, it also offers personalised children's passports at check-in, welcome treats, child-sized bathrobes, slippers and animal cuddly toys. The hotel is also home to the Four AA Rosette restaurant Number One, which specialises in modern Scottish cuisine. Additionally, The Balmoral has a spa where parents can enjoy a wide selection of treatments. Condé Nast Traveller wrote: "Rocco Forte's flagship sits inside an aptly big-boned Victorian building with Gothic accents, putting an elegantly modern take on tradition. Despite the grandeur and Palm Court afternoon tea antics, little ones are welcome to clamber the dramatic staircase, jump on the sumptuous beds in the family rooms and suites and press their noses up against arched Victorian windows for views of the castle. "There's no need to hassle reception for cot sheets, bibs or slip-proof bathmats; true to Rocco Forte form, the Balmoral drums up the necessary (swishy) kit according to age groups before you've even tumbled into your room. Parents can expect all the tot accoutrements (0-3), including cots, bottle warmers, highchairs and monitors." Elsewhere, the experts also selected the Schloss Roxburghe in the Scottish Borders as one of the country's top destinations for a family getaway. Situated a short distance from the market town of Kelso, the historic estate is home to both a luxury hotel and a number of self-catering cottages. The hotel accommodation at the Schloss Roxburghe is comprised of 78 rooms and suites, 20 of which are housed in the historic manor house and have been individually designed. In addition, more than 51 cottages are dotted throughout the extensive estate. The experts stated: "Lairding over the Scottish Borders' watercolour countryside, Schloss Roxburgh draws in as many families as it does golfers, a wee hour-and-a-half drive from Edinburgh airport. They come for the privacy of the self-catered cottages, with all the hotel facilities back at Baronial base, but also for ex-Norland Nanny-run 4-12 Kio Kids club (open Wednesday to Sunday), as well as the reams of estate activities (fly fishing, archery, mountain biking, clay shooting). "What it lacks for in design pitch, (Scottish hotels have a habit of losing themselves in a bright, brassy hinterland between traditional and contemporary) it makes up for with a stellar spa with two family-swim windows in the morning and afternoon and a new driving range with Toptracer facilities for supervised children, where they can master their golf swing." Moving further north, another of the best family-friendly hotels in Scotland, according to Condé Nast Traveller, is The Torridon in the Scottish Highlands. The five-star boutique resort is located in Wester Ross, around a 90-minute drive from the city of Inverness. The Torridon's hotel rooms honour Scottish heritage and feature opulent textiles and bright colours, while activities on offer include falconry, stargazing, and sea kayaking. The resort was applauded by Condé Nast Traveller for its various family-friendly walks and the kids menu at its on-site Bo & Muc Brasserie restaurant. Other hotels featured on Condé Nast Traveller's roundup include The Fife Arms in Braemar and Cameron House by Loch Lomond. The former was noted for its welcoming atmosphere and activities such as pony trekking and wildlife walks, while Cameron House was praised for its castle visits and loch water sports. The full list of the best family-friendly hotels in Scotland can be found on the Condé Nast Traveller website.
