In 1892, the photographer Paul Martin made a trip to Yarmouth, the popular seaside resort in Norfolk. Disguising his camera as a leather box, he was able to record his fellow holidaymakers unnoticed, providing a fascinating insight into life in Victorian England. Victorians at the Seaside is a small exhibition of some of these fascinating photographs.
