EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the idyllic summer of 1928, as captured in this vintage print from Bigbury-on-Sea Sands, Devon. The Great Western Railway (GWR) proudly presents a picturesque view of this stunning coastal gem, where holidaymakers are seen joyfully beach-combing during low tide between Bigbury-on-Sea and Burgh Island. The scene is set on a sunny August day, with the golden sands stretching out before us. Families and friends can be spotted leisurely strolling along the shore, their eyes fixed on the sand below in search of hidden treasures washed ashore by the gentle waves. This timeless activity known as beachcombing brings an air of excitement and curiosity to all who partake. Bigbury-on-Sea's natural beauty shines through in every detail: from its pristine coastline to the majestic presence of Burgh Island just off its shores. The tranquility and serenity that envelops this place make it a true haven for those seeking respite from bustling city life. As we delve into this snapshot from yesteryear, we are transported back to an era when simple pleasures were cherished above all else. It serves as a reminder that amidst changing times and evolving landscapes, some things remain constant – like the allure of sandy beaches under warm summer skies.
