As a young boy, Alfred
Tennyson and his brothers were taken to Mablethorpe on holiday.
This was in the early 1800's. After, a long search for accommodation,
they found longings for 25 shillings. It was a cottage a mile from
the sea. Later, they stayed at Ingoldby House on Quebec Road. Alfred
played among the sandhills which formed the sea defenses at the
time. When "Poems by Two Brothers" was published
in 1827, Alfred and his brother, Charles, hired a carriage and traveled
to Mablethorpe. They shouted they out their poems "with
no other audience than the deaf sand and the sounding sea waves."
During the following 14 years up to 1843, Alfred visited Mablethorpe
staying with Mrs. Wiliman at Marine Villa at the Pullover end of
High Street.
