Abstract
This paper focuses on the fictional seaside resort (or watering place) of Wilvercombe, which features as the setting for Dorothy L Sayers’ 1932 novel Have His Carcase. The paper will provide an overview of the development of Britain’s seaside resorts, focusing specifically on the resorts of the 1930s. Detailing the historical development of the resorts will provide a context for the exploration of some of the attributes and attractions of Wilvercombe which are referred to in Have His Carcase. Through analysing the history and development of the resorts and considering how and why they changed over time, will provide insight on why exactly Lord Peter Wimsey ‘always did hate watering places’.
