'Treasured' North East Coastal Landmarks Celebrated in Interactive Map

On Thursday, July 17, 2025, Historic England launched an interactive map of treasured coastal landmarks around England’s coast, marking the start of its Missing Pieces Project.
Celebrating Britain’s seaside heritage, the initiative aims to capture first-hand experiences of sites, part of Historic England’s wider effort to document maritime traditions and mid-century architecture.
Nearly 300 years of seaside heritage are showcased, featuring Victorian piers, art deco lidos and amusement parks, and includes landmarks like the Big Dipper and Boscombe Pier’s Entrance Building.
According to Historic England, chief executive Duncan Wilson said `Our seaside places hold a special place in our national story…`, adding that public contributions will help preserve these sites’ living history.
People are invited to contribute photographs, drawings, written memories or audio recordings, reflecting the tool’s aim to celebrate England’s vibrant seaside heritage.
