The owner of St Anne's Beach Huts shares how he turned a once-derelict site on the promenade into a thriving and iconic landmark, now loved by locals and tourists.

Stuart Robinson even faced protests in the early days of starting his business, as St Anne's residents remembered the run-down, dilapidated old huts from the 80s.

But the modern huts are now a much-loved feature of the coastal resort, and Stuart says they are 'like concrete bomb shelters' built to withstand storm damage - meaning they won't end up looking weathered.
