There was a time, in the second half of the twentieth century, that beach huts seemed to have had their day. A place to base yourself by the shore for a day or a week, either owned outright or rented from the local council, some fitted out with electricity and water, ceased to chime with people's ideas about what constituted a holiday. But then they had a renaissance and became sought after adjuncts to time by the sea, and their colourful presence was something to celebrate rather than dismiss. This short row at Weymouth is only a small fraction of the total number in the town. The repeating colours with a limited palette suggests corporate ownership as opposed to the highly individualised paint jobs of the privately owned huts.
