Tell us about a place that evokes a bygone age in Britain for the chance to win a £250 Aito holiday voucher

The cover story in this Sunday’s print edition was about the Victorian seaside holiday and the enduring British tradition that followed in its wake. Most of us have fond childhood memories of traditional seaside breaks in Brighton, Margate, Blackpool or Llandudno, say with their fun fairs, amusement arcades, donkey rides and picnic lunches seasoned with sand. If you are among them, we’d like to hear your stories and tips – whether humorous, nostalgic or just plain useful.

But there are other kinds of travel experiences that evoke a bygone era in Britain. You may have been to the Goodwood Revival or to a vintage air show. Perhaps you know of a time-warp pub or heritage railway, a battle re-enactment or a display of medieval pursuits at a castle? The reader who sends in the best entry wins a £250 Aito holiday voucher.
