'Scarborough', LNER poster, 1923-1947

Poster produced for the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER), showing holiday-makers on the promenade and beach at Scarborough, North Yorkshire.

DONKEY RIDE 1955: Donkeys on the beach at Weston-Super-Mare, Somerset, are still providing rides for hundreds of children, the only resort where the donkeys are still on duty. Normally the donkeys would have gone into 'winter quarters' at least a month ago.
