EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a nostalgic scene at Bournemouth beach in Dorset during the 1950s. A group of children can be seen joyfully playing on the sandy shores, while a cluster of adults seated on deckchairs keep a watchful eye over them. The image showcases a staff outing organized by Laings London office to Bournemouth, where employees and their families enjoyed a day trip filled with leisurely activities. The photograph is part of the Breaking New Ground Project, undertaken in partnership with the John Laing Charitable Trust in 2019-20. It beautifully encapsulates the essence of recreation, family life, and seaside fun that was prevalent during this era. Women are depicted as active participants in supervising and engaging with their children, highlighting their important role within family dynamics. The image exudes an unmistakable "Laing spirit" showcasing not only the company's commitment to fostering community among its employees but also capturing moments that celebrate childhood innocence and carefree leisure time spent together as families. Preserved by Historic England Archive under copyright protection, this print serves as both a historical document and an evocative reminder of simpler times when trips to the beach were cherished experiences for all involved.
