EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to August 1931, offering a mesmerizing overview of The Promenade at Sidmouth in South Devon. As we gaze upon this vintage image, we are transported to a bygone era where summer days were spent strolling along the picturesque esplanade. The scene is set during high tide, and powerful waves crash onto the Esplanade with an awe-inspiring force. The sound of crashing waves fills our imagination as we envision ourselves standing on that very spot, feeling the misty sea breeze against our skin. This glimpse into history allows us to appreciate both the beauty and power of nature's elements. Sidmouth's charm is evident in every detail captured within this photograph. The coastal town's idyllic shoreline stretches out before us, inviting visitors to explore its sandy beaches and enjoy leisurely walks along its promenade. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when seaside vacations were filled with sun-soaked adventures and carefree moments. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes clear why such images were used for publicity purposes by the Great Western Railway (GWR). They sought to entice travelers from far and wide to experience firsthand the allure of Sidmouth's coastlines—a destination that continues to captivate visitors today.
