EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from August 1937 takes us back in time to the picturesque beach of Maidencombe, near Teignmouth in Devon. As a GWR publicity view, it beautifully captures the essence of a summer holiday on the stunning coast of Devon. In this snapshot from the past, we see a scene filled with joy and relaxation. Holidaymakers can be seen scattered along the sandy shoreline, basking under the warm August sun. The calm sea beckons them for a refreshing dip as they eagerly embrace its inviting waters. The idyllic coastal setting is simply breathtaking. With its rugged cliffs and pristine sands stretching out before them, visitors are treated to an unforgettable seaside experience. It's easy to imagine families building sandcastles or strolling hand-in-hand along the water's edge. Transported back to this bygone era, we witness a simpler time when life seemed unhurried and carefree. This image serves as a reminder of how generations before us found solace and happiness in nature's gifts – whether it was through leisurely walks on golden beaches or immersing themselves in tranquil seas. Preserved within STEAM Museum of GWR, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of Maidencombe but also provides insight into how our ancestors sought respite amidst nature's wonders during their summer holidays in 1930s Britain.
