Acclaimed writer Madeleine Bunting, author of The Seaside: England's Love Affair, considers the joy and history of seaside towns and the games played there with Alan Meades, author of Arcade Britannia: A Social History of the British Amusement Arcade and Professor of Game Design at Canterbury Christ Church University.
