EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from August 1936, we are transported back in time to the enchanting Pavilion Gardens in Torquay, Devon. As we gaze upon the image, a group of elegantly dressed ladies can be seen leisurely strolling amongst an array of exotic plants and towering palm trees. Known as the Princess Gardens during that era, these meticulously landscaped gardens were created in the late 1800s when Torquay was emerging as a fashionable holiday destination. The lush greenery and vibrant blooms provided a picturesque backdrop for visitors seeking respite from their daily routines. The women featured in this snapshot epitomize the fashion trends of the 1930s with their stylish attire. Adorned in elegant dresses, wide-brimmed hats, and delicate gloves, they exude grace and sophistication as they explore this idyllic oasis. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also offers us a glimpse into an era where nature's beauty intertwined seamlessly with human elegance. It serves as a reminder of Torquay's rise to prominence as one of Britain's most sought-after vacation spots. Preserved by STEAM Museum of GWR (Great Western Railway), this historical gem allows us to appreciate how generations before us found solace amidst nature's wonders while embracing timeless fashion aesthetics. Let it transport you back to an era when summer days were spent indulging in leisurely walks through verdant gardens under the shade of majestic palms.
