EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the essence of British countryside charm in the 1950s. Produced by British Railways (BR) to promote rail travel to Suffolk, it showcases a picturesque view of the idyllic village of Kersey, near Lavenham. The artwork, skillfully created by Jack Merriott, transports viewers back in time to a simpler era. In this scene, two majestic horses can be seen quenching their thirst from a water source right on the street. This charming sight adds an element of rustic authenticity to the image. Behind them stand quaint cottages and a beautiful church that epitomize traditional English architecture. The dimensions of this print are 1012 mm x 1265 mm, allowing for every intricate detail to be admired up close. It is evident that great care has been taken in preserving this piece as part of the NRM/Pictorial Collection at the National Railway Museum. As we gaze upon this enchanting snapshot from history, we cannot help but feel drawn into its tranquil ambiance and nostalgic allure. It serves as a reminder of the timeless beauty found within rural communities and encourages us to explore Suffolk's hidden gems through rail travel - just as BR intended all those years ago.
