We shall conclude our notice of Lytham with the following
extracts from Mr. Whittle's “Marina," a work which contains a
variety of useful and interesting information.
" No watering
place can excel Lytham in convenience of bathing, few can equal
it - the shore being level and overspread by a sheet of the
finest sand, which being daily covered by a fine tide, affords
an opportunity of indulging the salubrious bath with equal
pleasure and safety. For the accommodation of the company,
bathing machines are kept here, which during the height of the
season meet with constant employment: these machines are driven
into the sea to a suitable depth, attended by careful and
experienced guides. The sea here is in general free from
sea-weeds or dirt, which is so common at many other parts of the
coast, and the water perfectly clear and pure. |
