1950s Amusement Park Laing Spirit People Day Trips
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of pure joy and excitement at Whitley Bay's fairground ride in North Tyneside. The year is 1947, and after a seven-year hiatus, Laing has revived their Area Outings for staff and their families. This particular outing was organized for the hardworking employees from the Carlisle area. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a group of people fully immersed in the thrill of the amusement park. Their faces are adorned with wide smiles as they experience the exhilaration that only a fairground ride can provide. The laughter and camaraderie among them reflect the strong sense of community fostered by Laing. The image not only showcases the enjoyment derived from these day trips but also serves as a testament to Laing's commitment to nurturing employee well-being outside of work hours. These outings were an opportunity for staff members to unwind, bond with colleagues, and create lasting memories with their loved ones. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it transports us back to simpler times when holidays were cherished moments filled with carefree fun. It reminds us that amidst our busy lives, taking time out for leisure activities is essential for rejuvenation and building stronger connections within our communities.
