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.'

Pretty UK seaside town named one of Europe's 'best kept secrets'
The European Hidden Gem Index ranked 50 of what they described as "Europe's best-kept secrets" - and one UK spot made the top 10 with its historical landmarks and impressive vistas Coastal resorts are a fundamental element of the UK, with countless options scattered throughout the nation. From those featuring pristine stretches of sandy coastline, to destinations complete with Victorian piers and amusements that often transport you to bygone eras, some undoubtedly attract more visitors than others. These locations can become rather crowded during summer months as Britons seek seaside relief, resulting in a less tranquil experience than expected. Venturing to lesser-known destinations and escaping the masses and expensive tourist hotspots can provide a much-needed respite instead, and one UK coastal town has officially been named one of Europe's best kept secrets. HomeToGo has published a list of underrated European towns, cities and villages frequently ignored by holidaymakers that merit exploration, and Beaumaris in Wales cracked the top 10. This comes as a heatwave forecast with maps reveals the exact date a 39C heat plume will scorch the UK. The European Hidden Gem Index named 50 locations as "Europe's best-kept secrets" after assessing destinations according to various criteria including weather, accommodation costs, dining choices and landscape. Situated on the Isle of Anglesey, recently crowned Britain's best island by The Telegraph, the Welsh coastal town received a score of 9.48 out of 10 for its scenery alone. Featuring a fascinating blend of medieval, Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian architecture, HomeToGo described this coastal town as a perfect spot "for the explorer who's enchanted by rugged shorelines, medieval castles, and boat trips to wild islands.", reports the Express. The location boasts a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with Beaumaris Castle built between 1295 and 1330, and although it remains incomplete, it's regularly hailed as a masterpiece and amongst the most impressive Edwardian castles in Wales. Also dubbed the greatest castle never built, it stood as the final and most substantial of the fortifications erected by King Edward I in Wales, and it's still lauded for its almost flawless symmetry. But there's more to explore beyond ancient strongholds, as this charming coastal town sits along the banks of the Menai Strait which divides Anglesey from mainland North Wales. Maritime excursions run by Sea Coast Safaris enable tourists to view Beaumaris from the water, gliding past Victorian piers, the town's exclusive Millionaires Row and The Swellies, recognised as the most treacherous stretch of the Menai Strait. Puffin Island is also accessible from Beaumaris. Called Ynys Seiriol in Welsh, this island serves as a protected sanctuary and nesting site for various seabirds, whilst also housing Atlantic grey seals. With its sand and pebble coastline, those who favour dry land can enjoy Beaumaris Beach, which provides stunning vistas across the Menai Strait towards Snowdonia. Beaumaris is just a two-hour drive from both Manchester and Liverpool, for would-be road-trippers. The nearest railway station is in Bangor, with bus services available to take visitors directly to Menai Bridge.

Seven of the best spots to visit on the Clyde Coast
Whether you're seeking outdoor adventure, cultural immersion or simply the restorative power of sea air and stunning vistas, the Clyde Coast always delivers. Tighnabruaich Hotel, Tighnabruaich With an elevated position above the village shoreline, the fuss-free beer garden at the Tighnabruaich Hotel benefits from uninterrupted views over the Kyles of Bute. Yet despite its enviable position it never gets too busy, even on a sunny day, making it a glorious spot to enjoy the best of the Clyde Coast scenery. Sugar Boat, Helensburgh This little gem of a restaurant and bar is surely one of the best in Helensburgh. It's named after the famous shipwreck that can be seen from the town, and it has become a real community favourite since first opening in Colquhoun Square. Visit on a weekend morning for their high-end brunch, or late in the evening for a cocktail – you can bring your dog, too. (Image: Gourock Outdoor Pool) Gourock Outdoor Pool Now immortalised in the pop world after an image of it adorned the cover of Blur's recent album, The Ballad of Darren, Gourock's refurbished outdoor attraction is Scotland's oldest salt water, open air swimming pool. Heated to a relatively balmy 29 degrees, it is open seven days a week and over the summer and offers spectacular views of the Clyde estuary during the day and the heavens at night with its magical Starlight Swims. Hill House Perched high overlooking the Firth of Clyde, Hill House in [[Helensburgh]] is regarded as Charles Rennie Mackintosh's domestic design triumph. Completed in 1904 for Glasgow publisher William Blackie, the exterior and interior were created by Mackintosh in collaboration with his wife Margaret Macdonald. [[Hill House]] is currently encased in a protective mesh box to protect it from the weather, but the exquisite interior is open to visitors, while gangways and steps inside the box provide unique angles from which to view the outside of the building. Cathedral of the Isles Cumbrae, just four miles long, epitomises the perfect Scottish island getaway accessible within an hour from Glasgow. The Cathedral of the Isles, Britain's smallest cathedral, sits in the charming town of Millport, where Victorian villas line the seafront and traditional seaside amusements endure. Founded in 1849 and consecrated in 1851, the Cathedral and adjacent College of the Holy Spirit, were designed by William Butterfield, one of the greatest nineteenth century British architects. The buildings remain with little alteration. Culzean Castle and Country Park Perched dramatically on Ayrshire clifftops, this Robert Adam masterpiece represents 18th-century architecture at its finest. The castle's oval staircase and circular saloon demonstrate Adam's innovative design genius, while the Eisenhower apartment commemorates the American president's connection to Scotland. The surrounding 600-acre country park features woodland walks, a restored walled garden, and the famous Culzean Beach with its distinctive volcanic rock formations. Red deer roam the parkland, while the clifftop paths offer spectacular views across to Ailsa Craig and Arran. (Image: Getty Images) Wemyss Bay Station Enter a world when rail was king and stations were designed and built to reflect its exalted status. Opened in 1865 and then rebuilt in 1903 to a design by James Miller for the Caledonian Railway, Wemyss Bay Station is widely regarded as one of the UK's finest. An architectural masterpiece which utilises glass and steel curves to assist the flow of passengers it is a much loved remnant of the age of the Clyde steamers. It still links with the Rothesay ferry and there are regular trains from Glasgow Central.

'I lived in the North Wales city among the worst seaside towns but disagree'
Wales is renowned for its beautiful beaches and scenic coastlines, yet one city has found itself labelled as one of the UK's "worst seaside towns" for a second consecutive year. Fortunately for Bangor, it has moved up a notch this year, leaving only Bognor Regis ranked lower. The Which? survey placed Clacton-on-Sea in Essex among the bottom three as well. The so-called experts at Which? gave Bangor a rather disappointing desirability score of just 38%. The detailed scores were particularly harsh on the charming Welsh city. Despite its vibrant student community, Bangor's food and drink offerings received a mere one star, its historic pier wasn't even rated, and its attractions and shops scored just one star. Even with a city centre that features a cathedral dating back to the 6th century and Penrhyn Castle on its outskirts, Bangor was awarded a paltry one star for tourist attractions. However, the city did earn three stars for scenery, which seems fitting given its location amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Eryri and the waters of the Menai Strait. The historic Garth Pier has stunning views of Anglesey (Image: R) As someone who spent three years studying in Bangor and has returned many times since, I feel compelled to defend the city. There are numerous reasons why the Which? experts have got it wrong.... It's not even a seaside town! Alright, I believe it's crucial to address this point from the survey. I'd contend that Bangor has never truly been marketed as a seaside town, contrary to what the Which? survey suggests. It doesn't even have its own proper beach! When someone prompts me to envision a seaside town, my mind drifts to the expansive sands of Colwyn Bay, or Abergele, or the Llandudno promenade and Rhyl's arcades. But can you class Bangor a seaside town when it doesn't even have a beach? While it's true that Bangor nestles on the Menai Strait, it's primarily a small university city - home to just over 15,000 residents. The city could reasonably position itself as a commercial hub for Anglesey inhabitants, given the easy access to the Menai Retail park. However, it can't genuinely assert to be, nor has it ever claimed to be, a seaside resort. Many people, myself included, were attracted to Bangor primarily for the university. So rather than criticising the city, I choose to fondly recall those bleary-eyed walks to lectures under the watchful gaze of snow-capped Eyri peaks. Matt lived in Bangor for three years and thinks the city can feel hard-done by as one of the 'worst seaside towns' One of the longest piers in the UK This one is a no-brainer. The Garth Pier wasn't actually ranked by the Which survey but is regarded as one of the finest examples of a Victorian Pier in Wales. Not only is it the second-longest pier in Wales, but it also ranks among the longest in the UK, offering breathtaking views of Beaumaris and Bangor Harbour. The 1,500ft-long Grade-II listed pier, dating back to the 19th Century, draws in thousands of visitors annually. In 2022, it was crowned Pier of the Year by the National Piers Society - a group with considerable knowledge on the subject. The Pavilion Café, situated at the pier's end, serves as a popular pit stop for many strolling along the structure, offering the opportunity to indulge in a homemade scone or a tub of Red Boat ice cream. While Bangor pier may lack the amusements and attractions found in Llandudno, it provides a pleasant spot for a leisurely walk and some relaxation. Bangor University brings in thousands of students (Image:) Heritage and culture Two of Bangor's most historic locations are also arguably its most imposing structures. The cathedral, located on the city centre's fringe, features gothic columns and stained glass windows, serving as a striking gateway into the city for those descending into town from Upper Bangor. Established in 1884, Bangor University's Main Arts building stands as an impressive sight atop Glenrafon Hill - a location affectionately known by students as B***h Hill due to its steep incline. Pontio in Bangor (Image: David Powell/North Wales Live) In recent years - much to my chagrin, having graduated prior - the university unveiled Pontio, introducing more cinema, theatre, and dining options to the city. Not too shabby, considering the experts only awarded the attractions one star! Bangor also boasts the Penrhyn Castle, a National Trust site that even hosts a weekly parkrun. Originally constructed for quarry owners, the castle now provides a captivating peek into history, all while being situated on the breathtaking Wales coast path. The stunning location Bangor is surrounded by stunning scenery and views of the Menai Strait (Image: Matt Jackson) This point might be slightly cheeky, but Bangor is surrounded by an array of attractions, which is worth noting given its small city status. Just a brief trip from the city centre - and admittedly across the Menai Bridge - you'll find the historic Beaumaris, the picturesque Newborough Forest, and the striking Benllech Beach. You're also a mere 20-minute drive from Llanberris and the base of Snowdon. Even for budget-conscious students, a journey to the UK's third-highest peak was a must. And if mountain climbing isn't your cup of tea, it wasn't overly costly to hop on a train to Llandudno to explore the Great Orme, stroll along the seaside Promenade, or simply browse the shops. Students without a car could even catch a film at Llandudno Junction on the return journey.
