Britain is famous for its seaside towns: the coast is peppered with architectural gems, many of them still boasting the sort of 19th century elegance that had people visiting in their droves 100 years ago. Admittedly some of them are now a tad faded and many need a bit of love and attention to restore them to their former glory - so it's good to know that the seaside town is undergoing something of a renaissance as Brits eschew holidays in foreign climes for a bucket and spade holiday closer to home.

Now that summer's on its way, we thought we'd celebrate the good old-fashioned British coastal resort with a little quiz. From Tenby to Torquay, there are some real gems in here. How many of these can you recognise?
