Arcades, fairground rides, and long sandy beaches - Skegness on the Lincolnshire coast is a classic English seaside destination!

Originally a small fishing village overlooking the Wash, it was with the construction of the railways in the nineteenth century that Skegness really came into its own. It was even known as 'Trippers' Paradise', referring to the crowds of people who came to enjoy a day on the beach. It was here, in 1885, that Britain's first switchback railway was built, an important precursor to the rollercoasters of today! And it was here, in 1936, that the world's first ever Butlin's resort was opened, still hosting holidays to this day.

But if there's one iconic Skegness landmark that surpasses all the others, it's surely the famous Jubilee Clock Tower. Shown here in this stunning design, the Clock Tower was built in 1899 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. It stands tall just a few yards from the beach, and holds a special place in many local people's hearts. We do like to be beside the seaside, don't we - and with this tea towel, you can pay tribute to a timeless seaside monument!

Half Panama organic bleached cotton (heavy weight, textured finish). Stitched on all four sides. Includes hanging loop. Measures approximately 48cm x 70cm. Machine wash at 40 degrees max. We recommend that before you use your tea towel for the first time you wash it at least once to soften up the material and make it more absorbent for drying dishes. Please note size can vary slightly.
