About Skegness - show infohide info
Skegness is a seaside town on the east coast of England, in the county of Lincolnshire. The town has a population of 30,000 inhabitants. Skegness was originally a fishing village and minor port, until the arrival of the railway in 1875. The Earl of Scarborough planned to make the town into a seaside resort, and the town expanded rapidly, though after World War II, Skegness lost out to the package holiday. Skegness has a 1843 foot pier, which was opened on Whit Monday in 1881, and was once the 4th longest pier in Britain. Steam boats ran from the pier to Hunstanton in Norfolk. The pier was damaged, and shortened by gales in 1978; it is no longer the length it was, however it has been extensively refurbished and is still a popular attraction in the town. The town has always been associated with tourism, and the railway was an important factor in this. The G.N.R railway company ran a famous poster campaign, with a jolly fisherman proclaiming 'Skegness is so Bracing!'. Skegness was also the site for the first Butlin's holiday camp, opened by Billy Butlin in 1936. Today the town is still a major tourist destination, however it is now primarily a day-trip location. That said, there are still a number of caravan parks and hotels, and the Butlin's holiday camp still operates. The front at Skegness has a variety of ways for tourists to spend their money, with slot machines, fairground rides, shops and restaurants. The town is also home to the Embassy theatre, behind which is the Botton's Pleasure Beach theme park, with rollercoasters, a carousel and other traditional rides. Today the railway is a shadow of its former self, though it still sees frequent trains to Nottingham via Boston, and specials in the summer season. Skegness is fairly isolated, the nearest major town being Boston, 20 miles away. Smaller towns close by include Spilsby, Horncastle, Woodhall Spa, Alford, Sutton on Sea Louth and Mabelthorpe.
