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.'

The Scottish village with nearby castle hosting 'thrilling' family fair this weekend
For many people in Scotland, August is dominated by the Edinburgh Fringe. While the legendary arts festival is well worth visiting the capital for, there is lots else going on around the country that is worth checking out this month. For the Daily Record's latest Village of the Week, we have chosen a charming little settlement near a castle that is hosting an incredible festival this weekend. Thornhill is a small village in Dumfries and Galloway that is known for its wide streets and opulent Victorian villas. Just a few miles out of the village is Drumlanrig Castle and Gardens, which are situated on the 90,000 acre Queensberry Estate and date back to the 17th century. While the castle is worth a visit any time of year, this weekend it is hosting the Galloway Country Fair. Taking place on August 9 and August 10, the annual fair is a weekend event that celebrates countryside and family life. Each year, it transforms the tranquil grounds of Drumlanrig Castle into a bustling hub of rural fun and "thrilling entertainment" for the entire family. Headlining the action this year is the Stannage Stunt Team, who will perform jaw-dropping motorcycle and fire stunts. Meanwhile, OG Performance Jousting will put on an adrenaline-filled display of medieval skill. In terms of what's on exclusively for little ones, The Kids' Zone is jam-packed with activities such as free mini quads, bouncy castles, and laser quest. For a small fee, children can even enjoy bumper cars, a bungee trampoline, and a giant inflatable fun course. There will be plenty to enjoy when it comes to food and drink at the Galloway Country Fair too. There will be lots of stalls selling everything from artisan hot dogs to fish and chips, as well as donuts, crepes, and ice cream. Meanwhile, Thornhill is well worth exploring all on its own—with a number of shops and cafés dotted around its High Street. The village is also home to the Drumlanrig Cafe restaurant, where you can enjoy a proper meal. Read on for some images that show why Gairloch is worth a visit this August. Meanwhile, more information about the Galloway Country Fair can be found on the Drumlanrig Castle website.

Beautiful UK resort dubbed the 'Queen of seaside towns' during summer
A picturesque British seaside resort has it all - from a stunning bay and pristine beaches to a charming town filled with independent shops, and a history dating back to the Iron Age Boasting a broad bay, shimmering turquoise waters, a rich history tracing back to the Iron Age, and a town brimming with delightful independent shops, this coastal resort has plenty to offer. Nestled on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, Swanage caters to all tastes, whether you fancy sunning yourself on Swanage Beach, trekking along the Jurassic Coast, perusing local art galleries, savouring fresh seafood at quayside cafés, or enjoying a traditional Punch and Judy show right on the beach. Swanage perfectly blends age-old tradition with relaxed coastal allure. Its Victorian pier, heritage railway, and plethora of listed buildings lend the town an unmatched charm, while the bay and beach are undoubtedly among Swanage's most prized assets. It comes after reports of a small fishing village with some of the UK's best seafood but hardly any tourists. In 2024, for the 23rd consecutive year, Swanage Beach was honoured with both the Blue Flag and Seaside Award, a testament to its golden sands, pristine environment, and crystal-clear water, reports the Express. The dramatic chalk formations of Old Harry Rocks, marking the eastern end of the Jurassic Coast, provide awe-inspiring views over the sea. Whether you choose to reach them by hiking the picturesque coastal path from Swanage or embarking on a boat trip from the bay, a visit to Old Harry Rocks is an unforgettable experience and an absolute must for any first-time visitor to the area. Swanage, once a humble port and quarry town, has blossomed into a seaside gem, hailed by The Telegraph as the "queen of seaside resorts". It boasts a plethora of activities, steeped in history and natural allure. One visitor couldn't help but sing Swanage's praises on TripAdvisor, highlighting its "all independent" shops. They commented: "Lovely beach. Nice and clean and a sea to die for. Perfect for everyone as it's a shallow walk into a very clear and calm sea. It's a bit busier near the town where the shops, bars/pubs, cafes and restaurants are." Adding: "The town is super. Spoilt for choice of shops to eat or drink and buy something from. Best bit is it's ALL independent shops, bars and cafes and NO branded names." Another traveller captivated by Swanage's charm, noted: "So many beautiful sites in and around Swanage, historical, thatched villages, the splendid ruins of Corfe Castle, and gorgeous sunsets over the bay." Another TripAdvisor enthusiast also shared their experience of Old Harry Rocks: "Beautiful natural feature that was relatively tourist-free. The one-mile walk from the National Trust car park was very pretty along a cleared footpath through ferns, trees and shrubs." They added: "There's a flowering meadow on the cliffs overlooking Old Harry with views across to Bournemouth. There's a cafe and pub close to the National Trust car park. Loved this walk!!"

Testing ramps up with full weekend trial run of the Metro Tunnel
Melbourne's Metro Tunnel project – you know, the $13.5 billion rail upgrade set to connect South Kensington to South Yarra – is well on track (pardon the pun). This major infrastructure project, designed to ease congestion and transform the city's train network, will feature twin nine-kilometre tunnels and five new underground stations once complete. It is currently a year ahead of schedule (yay!), and as preparations continue for it to open later this year, the Victorian government has confirmed that the project is entering a critical period of end-to-end trials. Before it opens to the public, the tunnel is undergoing extensive testing to ensure it is safe and operating smoothly. So far, trains have travelled more than 197,000 kilometres through the tunnels as part of the testing and trial operation phases. Back in June, the project team carried out a major day of operations, involving more than 265 trips between Sunbury and Cranbourne and Pakenham East. Following the success of this large-scale trial, the Victorian government has scheduled a full dress rehearsal-style test for Saturday, August 16, and Sunday, August 17, ahead of the tunnel's public opening late this year. On these days, trains on the Sunbury, Cranbourne and Pakenham lines will run through the Metro Tunnel – meaning passengers will need to change trains at Footscray and Caulfield to complete their journeys. To minimise disruption, more trains will run over the two days compared to the usual weekend timetable. Passenger information displays on trains and platforms will reflect future services, and station staff will be on hand to help travellers understand the changes – with passengers encouraged to pay close attention to live announcements.
