Date: Tuesday 30th March 2010
Time: 09:00 - 17:00

Drawing its inspiration from Humphrey Spender's Mass Observation photographs of Worktowners in Blackpool, this conference focuses on the leisure experiences of people on holiday in 20th century Britain. This period witnessed marked changes in holidaymaking, brought about by advances in transport, the growth of 'mass' tourism, the Holidays with Pay Act of 1938 and the multi-faceted expansion of the tourism industry.
This conference is keen to capture and reflect the wide variety of leisure experiences that holidays and tourism have generated.
The conference will be of interest to leisure and tourism historians and researchers, cultural historians and to curators and photographers involved in the recording and archiving of holiday experiences and destinations.
Keynote Speakers:
Susan Barton, author of Working Class organisations and popular tourism, 1840-1970;
Bella Dicks, author of Culture on display: the production of contemporary visitability;
Fred Gray, author of Designing the seaside: architechture, society and nature.
