EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating snapshot of the past, captured in this vintage LNER poster from 1930. Produced by the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER), it aimed to entice travelers to explore the picturesque coastal town of Cleethorpes in Lincolnshire. The artwork, skillfully crafted by Andrew Johnson, transports us back to an era when rail travel was not just a means of transportation but an adventure itself. The poster depicts a vibrant scene on Cleethorpes' sandy beach, where people frolic in their charming swimming costumes. It evokes a sense of joy and leisure as families enjoy the sun-soaked shores. In the background, we catch a glimpse of a child happily riding on a donkey—a timeless symbol of seaside fun and nostalgia. This detail adds an element of whimsy and innocence to the overall composition. Measuring at 1016 mm x 1270 mm, this print showcases both its historical significance and artistic merit. Preserved within the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, it serves as a window into our rich railway heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded that Cleethorpes' allure has stood the test of time—its beauty still beckoning visitors today.
