Bengal, Lifeboat Avenue, Skegness

The Weldon family had a holiday home in Skegness, back then known as Nottingham by the Sea due to direct rail links established in 1873, which transformed the town into an accessible, popular resort.

The 9th Earl of Scarborough, who owned most of the land in the vicinity built the infrastructure of the town and laid out plots, which he leased to developers. This new Skegness quickly became a popular destination for holiday makers and day trippers from the East Midlands factory towns. By the interwar years the town was established as one of the most popular seaside resorts in Britain.
