EDITORS COMMENTS
Transported back in time to the vibrant summer of 1938, this print captures the essence of Barry Island beach in all its glory. As the sun shines brightly overhead, a bustling crowd of holidaymakers fills every inch of sand, seeking respite from their daily lives. The beach is alive with laughter and joy as people relax in colorful deckchairs, basking in the warmth and serenity that only a seaside escape can offer. In the distance, children giggle with delight as they enjoy pony rides along the shoreline while others cool off in the paddling pool nearby. The scene is one of pure bliss and carefree indulgence; it's easy to imagine oneself among those lucky souls who found solace on these golden sands. Amidst this lively atmosphere, two establishments stand out - Gwalia Tea Rooms and Dinkie Cafe. These beloved local haunts are abuzz with activity as visitors flock to savor delicious treats and refreshing beverages. Their success serves as a testament to both their quality offerings and their ability to cater to the needs of weary travelers seeking nourishment after hours spent under Wales' radiant sun.
