Seaside towns are known for having examples of bright and flamboyant lettering on buildings such as amusement arcades and restaurants.
Dr. David Jarratt completes scholarship on seaside towns and tourism, and has now shared a new free to access article that he co-wrote. He is well worth following on Twitter.

I'd love to see pictures of examples that you find.
