Wooden beach huts have existed since the late\u00a019th Century\u00a0in\u00a0Australia, England, France and Italy. They\u00a0evolved from the ‘bathing machine’, a mobile changing room that preserved the modesty of Victorian bathers, and they continue to brighten up our\u00a0sea fronts. Here are some of our favourites, as captured by our photographers.<\/span><\/p>\n
