Aldeburgh Holiday Resort
By 1800 Aldeburgh, “impoverished and depopulated by the encroachment of the sea” was hastening to decay, but then the titled families, encouraged by the Hanoverian craze for the sea, began to recognise Aldeburgh and preferred it to the crowded beaches of the South Coast. Roads were improved and superior houses built, as were the Town Steps.
The Marquis of Salisbury built The Casino (now part of Thellusson Lodge) at the north end of the Terrace, opposite the churchyard. Soon The Little Casino appeared next to it.
In 1829 Leveson Vernon, Lord of the Manor, built the Marine Villa at the North end overlooking the sea. It later became part of Aldeburgh Lodge and is now flats.
