EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the summer of 1958, when British Railways (BR) sought to entice travelers to the picturesque coastal town of Redcar in North Yorkshire. The poster, skillfully crafted by artist Frank Sherwin, transports us to a scene that exudes tranquility and seaside charm. As our eyes wander across the image, we are greeted by a breathtaking view of Redcar's coastline. The sandy beach stretches out before us, inviting sun-seekers and holidaymakers alike to bask in its golden warmth. Boats gently rest upon the sand, their vibrant colors adding an extra touch of vibrancy against the serene backdrop. The promenade beckons visitors for leisurely strolls along its path, offering glimpses of idyllic vistas at every turn. It is here that memories are made; families enjoying ice creams while children build sandcastles with glee. This poster serves as a nostalgic reminder of simpler times when rail travel was not just a means of transportation but also an opportunity for adventure and exploration. BR understood this sentiment well and captured it beautifully through Sherwin's artwork. Today, this print from the National Railway Museum allows us to relive those cherished moments spent on Redcar's beaches – where carefree days merged seamlessly into warm summer nights. It stands as a testament to both artistic talent and the enduring allure of Britain's coastal treasures.
