"A walk along the promenade of Whitley Bay, Northumberland, in 1928: Boys in swimsuits build sandcastles, while girls in elegant dresses watch from the shore. A scene reminiscent of Edoardo Dalbono's painting 'View of the Golf' from 1887. But the carefree atmosphere is shattered as they recall the haunting tale of 'How Their Children were Stolen Away' from The Pied Piper of Hamelin pub. Fast forward to the present, the beach is once again filled with crowds, but the fashion has changed - punks with bold make-up and rebellious attitudes dominate the scene. Yet, the memories of summers past remain etched in their minds." (10171650 words)
