EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the summer of 1959, when British Railways (BR) sought to entice holidaymakers to the picturesque coastal town of Bridlington in East Riding. The poster, skillfully designed by artist Tatt, showcases the idyllic charm and vibrant social scene that awaited visitors on their train journey. As we gaze at this vintage masterpiece, we are transported to a time when society was emerging from the shadows of war and embracing a newfound sense of leisure and recreation. Bridlington's sandy beaches stretch out before us, inviting families and friends to bask in the warm sun or frolic in the refreshing waves. The bustling seaside resorts come alive with laughter and excitement as people indulge in ice creams, donkey rides, and traditional beachside amusements. The poster captures not only the natural beauty of Bridlington's coast but also its role as a hub for social gatherings. It reflects an era where holidays were treasured moments for hardworking individuals seeking respite from their daily routines. In this snapshot of history, we witness how BR played a pivotal role in connecting people with these cherished destinations. Preserved by National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print serves as a window into our past – reminding us of simpler times filled with joyous memories made along Britain's coastline.
