A Happy Fence Friday to everyone. I hope your day and weekend are full of fun and frolics.

These beach huts are in Bridlington, Yorkshire. I find these examples a little disturbing somehow. I've always felt that the "beach hut" concept was a communal idea: yes, the huts offered privacy for families on their holidays, sometimes even having rudimentary cooking facilities and tables to sit and have a cuppa, but they never seemed to be walled off from each other and often people would visit their neighbours quite freely. These fences seem the antithesis of that communality. Or maybe that's just me being nostalgic for something that wasn't actually the case - anemoia.

Whatever, have a grand day.

Maybe the fences are just somewhere to hang wet towels / make a windbreak ?
or stop skateboards ...

Maybe you're right. I hadn't considered the towels aspect. It's probably just me overthinking things again. Sorry.

So typically English, but very regular in this case. In most cases the owners individualise their huts using colour, decoration and suchlike. Maybe these are council owned.
HFF, John, and enjoy the weekend

They make a fantastic image and I love the PoV but I totally get your feelings on them. They look out of place, too neat and tidy but where’s the sense of freedom and the BEACH?
HFF, have a great w/e.

The beach is about five yards or so in front of the grass. Or, more accurately, the top of the sea wall is there. A set of steps leads down to the sand. It ain't far at all.
