Old Skegness Holiday Guides

We are pleased to say that we now have the Official 1958 Skegness Holiday Guide as published by the Skegness Urban District Council online for you to browse.
We have seven (and counting) of these vintage holiday guides, ranging from 1909 to 1971 in our collection of Skegness memorabilia, and it is our intention to share them with our visitors by uploading them to our Skegness Photo Gallery. The vintage holiday guides are a valuable source of Skegness history, being crammed with local business adverts, entertainment and photos.
As you can imagine, it’s a laborious task scanning the books in - some have a hundred pages! So we’ve just included the adverts for the larger hotels and ommited the smaller ones. But please ask if you want a look-up in the years below for a hotel or guest house which we haven’t uploaded. Ofcourse, we have scanned the main holiday information pages and pictures.
The front covers of the 1909, 1971, 1948, 1947 and 1925 holiday guides are shown below:
