EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print takes us back to the summer of 1955, when British Railways (BR), London Midland Region (LMR) released this stunning poster promoting the beloved seaside resort of Blackpool. The image showcases a colourful and stylised view of Blackpool's iconic promenade, piers, and sandy beaches, with the magnificent Blackpool Tower towering over the town buildings in all its splendor. Printed by Charles & Read Ltd in both London and Harlow, this poster measures an impressive 1016mm x 635mm, allowing every intricate detail to be appreciated. The composition beautifully captures the essence of Blackpool's lively atmosphere during that era - families strolling along the promenades hand-in-hand, children building sandcastles on sun-kissed beaches, and visitors eagerly exploring the bustling piers. The inclusion of Blackpool Tower adds a touch of grandeur to this already picturesque scene. Standing tall at 518 feet high, it has been an emblematic symbol for over a century. This print serves as a delightful reminder of how generations have flocked to experience all that Blackpool has to offer - from thrilling amusement park rides on its famous piers to leisurely walks along its scenic coastline. Preserved within the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this artwork transports us back in time while evoking feelings of nostalgia for those who hold cherished memories of their visits to Britain's most popular seaside destination.
