EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage poster, produced by British Railways (BR) between 1948 and 1965, transports us back to a bygone era of leisurely rail excursions. The artwork, created by an unknown artist, beautifully captures the essence of these delightful journeys to Withernsea in the East Riding. The poster's vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail immediately draw our eyes towards the Grand Pavilion - the ultimate destination for those seeking a night of dancing and merriment. Its elegant architecture stands proudly against a backdrop of rolling hills and picturesque countryside, enticing travelers with promises of unforgettable evenings filled with music and joy. As we gaze at this evocative image, we can almost hear the rhythmic chugging of steam engines as they traverse their routes through scenic landscapes. The poster subtly hints at adventure and discovery; it invites us to embark on a nostalgic journey where time slows down and memories are made. Withernsea beckons us with its charm – a coastal town known for its sandy beaches, bracing sea air, and warm hospitality. This BR poster serves as an invitation to experience all that Withernsea has to offer: from idyllic strolls along the promenade to lively dances under glittering chandeliers. Preserved within the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print not only showcases British Railways' commitment to promoting travel but also acts as a window into an enchanting period in history when rail excursions were cherished experiences worth celebrating.
