Back in the nineteenth century a trip to the seaside and a dip in the sea was an exciting prospect. In order to keep your modesty, a bathing machine was used. These vehicles looked like beach huts on wheels and could be hired out for short periods.
In Edwardian times the ‘Beach Hut’, as we know it, began to slowly appear along the beaches of the UK. After WW2 the holidaymakers started to return to the beaches in search of relaxation and fresh sea air and by the 1950’s the Beach Hut was well and truly back in fashion.
Whitby Pavilion was constructed between 1876 and 1879, on the initiative of George Elliott. It was designed as a theatre, with a saloon and surrounded by pleasure grounds. After World War I, a large extension was constructed, known as the Floral Hall, used primarily for dances. The hall became dilapidated, and was demolished in 1989. The theatre was renovated, and the Northern Lights Suite was constructed in 1990, providing a cafe, and space for exhibitions and markets. The theatre can now seat 380 people, and the stalls can be removed to create a dance floor.
