Skegness

Skegness is a resort town in Lincolnshire, England, with a permanent population of about 30,000. It is adminstered by East Lindsey District Council.

It was a fishing village and small port with until the arrival of the railway in 1873. It expanded rapidly, but along with many other UK resorts, especially those on the cold North Sea, lost out to the cheap package holiday boom after World War II.
