Grey. Orange. Sea. Skye.

One of the best such holiday resort "official guides" I have seen in a while and the colourful covers, in a then popular spiral binding unusual for such a publication, were designed by Pool's Advertising Service Ltd. The book was edited by J.M. Scott, the Director of the Entertainments, Publicity and Trading Department of the Corporation and printed by C.H. Gee & Co. Ltd. of Leicester. It gives details as to the many attractions of Southsea as a holiday resort as well as of the City of Portsmouth, especially its naval links and history. The cover shows part of the Promenade and one of the town's piers - with a splash of orange/red flowers lower right upon which the text in black is centred. Above - the greens of the formal gardens and flanking the blue sea the strip of promenade and beach. Across the top is a pier stretching out to sea.

‘We need to think wider than legacy events space’ – business leaders back new city venue call – Blog Preston <p>A new economic strategy released by city’s Preston Partnership group includes urgent call for major venue in Preston</p>

“A new venue would send a clear ‘open for business’ message, raise our profile for conferences and culture, attract visitors year-round, boost local jobs and spending, and give a flagship home for regional and national events, live music and major shows."

I'm pleased to have contributed to this. Some interesting points on future #travel and #tourism from other contributers too.

It's a complex, detail-heavy story that raises questions about Farage’s claim Gill was ‘one bad apple’🧵
