EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative real photo postcard captures the bustling scene at The Slopes and Promenade in Southbourne, Dorset, during a thunderstorm in 1952. The image, taken by Terry Parker for Thunder and Clayden, beautifully conveys the raw energy and excitement of the British seaside in the mid-20th century. The Slopes, a grassy hill leading down to the beach, is filled with families and children, all huddled together under umbrellas and raincoats, enjoying the thrill of the unexpected storm. The promenade, with its rows of shops and amusement arcades, can be seen in the background, their neon signs flickering despite the weather. The raindrops on the photograph create a sense of depth and texture, adding to the overall mood of the scene. The waves crash against the shore, creating a sense of power and movement, while the people on the beach seem to be in a state of blissful abandon, reveling in the moment. Despite the ominous clouds and thunder in the distance, the atmosphere is far from gloomy. Instead, it is one of joy and camaraderie, as the community comes together to embrace the elements and make the most of a spontaneous day at the seaside. This postcard is a testament to the enduring appeal of the British seaside, and the simple pleasures of a day spent by the sea, regardless of the weather. It is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when the simple joys of life were cherished and celebrated, and a reminder of the resilience and spirit of the British people.
