Photographs of beach huts on Mersea island.
Queen Victoria made sea bathing fashionable with her changing "hut" on wheels
which was trundled down the beach into the water. These bathing machines afforded
privacy for ladies who could enter the water with only their
heads being seen.
Modern beach huts can be found on many beaches and are used as shelter, for storage, cooking in, changing clothes and shade if the sunshine becomes too much.
