EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Historic England's Archive, we are transported back in time to the 1950s. The image captures a moment of camaraderie and leisure as two women sit comfortably in a train carriage during an outing organized by Laings London office to Bournemouth. Their beaming smiles and relaxed postures suggest that they are thoroughly enjoying their day trip. The women exude elegance with their stylish outfits, reflecting the fashion trends of the era. As they chat animatedly, one can almost hear their laughter filling the air. It is evident that these friends have formed a strong bond through shared experiences and adventures. The railway setting adds to the nostalgic charm of the photograph, reminding us of simpler times when train travel was a popular mode of transportation for excursions and holidays. The smoke gently wafting from one woman's cigarette further emphasizes this bygone era. This remarkable image was catalogued as part of the Breaking New Ground Project in partnership with the John Laing Charitable Trust in 2019-20. Through initiatives like these, Historic England continues to preserve our cultural heritage by capturing moments that tell stories about our past. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how friendships can transcend decades and bring joy even amidst everyday routines. This print serves as a poignant reminder to cherish those special connections that enrich our lives on every journey we undertake.
