EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time with this print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR. Taken in the idyllic summer of 1928, it offers a glimpse into the leisurely coastal lifestyle enjoyed by holidaymakers on England's southern coast. Perched atop majestic cliffs overlooking Bigbury and Bantham Sands, a couple delights in their picnic amidst breathtaking scenery. With smiles adorning their faces, they relish both each other's company and the panoramic view below. Down on the sandy beach, clusters of vacationers bask in warm sunlight and frolic along the shoreline. The image captures an era when simplicity reigned supreme – where families sought solace from bustling city life amidst nature's splendor. The tranquil atmosphere is palpable as gentle waves lap against golden shores while seagulls glide gracefully overhead. Bigbury & Bantham Sands served as an oasis for those seeking respite during summers past. Its allure lies not only in its picturesque coastline but also in its ability to transport visitors to a simpler time; one filled with carefree laughter and cherished memories. As we gaze upon this timeless scene frozen within a single frame, let us be reminded of our connection to history and appreciate how these moments shaped our present-day experiences. May this photograph inspire us all to seek out our own slice of paradise along Devon's enchanting coastlines or wherever our hearts may
