This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the vibrant atmosphere of the Victoria Pavilion in Ilfracombe, North Devon. The image showcases a group of adults and children posing together during a Laing staff trip to this picturesque seaside town. The year was 1954, and after a seven-year hiatus, Laing had resurrected their Area Outings for staff and their families. This particular outing catered to employees from the South-West and South Wales regions, including Bristol, Portishead, Plymouth, and South Wales. It was an opportunity for these hardworking individuals to unwind with their loved ones amidst the stunning Victorian architecture of the pavilion. The photo exudes an undeniable sense of joy as families come together under the grand glass roof of the pavilion. Their fashionable attire reflects the spirit of optimism that permeated post-war Britain. Smiling faces are illuminated by natural light streaming through ornate windows while laughter fills every corner. This image is not just about a day trip; it represents cherished memories created during simpler times when community bonds were strengthened through shared experiences. Preserved by Historic England Archive, this photograph serves as a testament to our collective heritage – reminding us of moments that shaped our past and continue to inspire us today.
