Step back in time to the idyllic summer of 1936 with this print titled "On the Beach at Sidmouth, Devon". A treasured piece from the STEAM Museum of the GWR collection, it offers a glimpse into a bygone era when holidaymakers flocked to South Devon's picturesque coast for their annual seaside retreat. In this delightful scene, captured by GWR as part of their publicity campaign, Sidmouth's shingle beach comes alive with joy and relaxation. The sun-drenched shoreline is teeming with vacationers basking in the warmth of August. Deckchairs dotting the sandy expanse provide respite for those seeking ultimate comfort while soaking up rays. Families and friends can be seen paddling in crystal-clear waters, finding solace from everyday worries amidst gentle waves. Transported back to this simpler time, one can almost feel the excitement and anticipation that filled the air during these carefree days.

So let your imagination wander as you admire this historical gem; envision yourself lounging on that pebbled shore or taking a refreshing dip in those inviting waters – all within reach through this enchanting photograph from 1936 Sidmouth.
