EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the idyllic summer of 1950, where this print transports us to the charming seaside town of Exmouth in Devon. A masterpiece of GWR publicity, it captures the essence of a perfect day on the coast. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are drawn towards the bustling Promenade or Esplanade that stretches out before us. Lined with vibrant beachfront hotels and elegant villas along Morton Crescent, it exudes an air of sophistication and relaxation. The Pavilion peeks into view on the right side, promising delightful entertainment for all who visit. The azure waters of Exmouth Beach beckon from afar, inviting visitors to dip their toes into its refreshing embrace. The golden sands stretch as far as the eye can see, dotted with colorful umbrellas and joyful families enjoying their summer holidays. This snapshot from yesteryear encapsulates a simpler time when life seemed slower-paced and carefree. It evokes nostalgia for lazy afternoons spent strolling along the promenade hand-in-hand with loved ones or indulging in ice cream cones while listening to distant laughter carried by gentle sea breezes. Transport yourself back to July 1950 through this remarkable piece of history captured by STEAM Museum's collection. Let your imagination wander amidst Exmouth's coastal beauty and experience a slice of seaside bliss frozen in time.
