EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant seaside town of Hastings and St Leonards in 1959. The British Railways (Southern Region) poster, beautifully illustrated by F W Wentworth-Shields, captures the essence of this bustling coastal destination. The artwork transports us to a time when leisurely pursuits were enjoyed amidst stunning natural surroundings. In the foreground, we see a group of enthusiastic bowlers engrossed in their game on a perfectly manicured green lawn. Their concentration is palpable as they aim for that perfect shot. Beyond the bowling greens, our gaze is drawn towards the seafront promenade where crowds gather to soak up the sun and revel in summertime bliss. Families stroll along hand-in-hand, children excitedly clutching colorful balloons while seagulls swoop overhead. Intriguingly, nestled amongst this idyllic scene lies an unexpected element - a magnificent steam train gracefully passing through on its railway tracks. This inclusion pays homage to the vital role that railways played in connecting people from all walks of life with popular holiday destinations like Hastings and St Leonards. As we admire this vintage poster print from National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, it serves as a reminder of simpler times filled with joyous moments spent by the sea. It encapsulates not just a snapshot of history but also evokes feelings of nostalgia and wanderlust for those who long for days gone by at these beloved coastal retreats.
