This is a project I worked on with my wife, Jennifer, and the Skegness U3A Local History Group.

​

The first part seeks to bring together the main threads of what was known, mainly from published sources, about the development of Skegness up to 1939.

​

There are also more in-depth studies of Skegness in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; the transition from agricultural village to a seaside town and short articles on men of influence: the Earls of Scarbrough, Henry Vivian Tippet and Rowland Henry Jenkins.

​

Some extracts of our work are published here. The full book "Skegness Through The Years" can be purchased on Amazon.
