Bigbury-on-Sea, Devon, September 1935: A Timeless Seaside Retreat This evocative photograph, taken from Burgh Island off the southern coast of Devon in September 1935, captures the essence of a bygone era. The art-deco style Burgh Island Hotel, with its distinctive white facade and elegant curves, stands proudly on the tidal island, a beacon of luxury and sophistication. Surrounding it are a cluster of quaint houses and fisherman's huts, their bright colours contrasting against the blue sea and sky. Beyond the island, Bigbury Beach stretches out, its golden sands dotted with sunbathers and families enjoying a day at the seaside. Bigbury-on-Sea, a charming coastal town, can be seen in the distance, its red-roofed houses and quaint cottages nestled among the dunes. The calm, clear waters of the English Channel reflect the sun's rays, casting a shimmering glow over the scene. This image, taken during the summer of 1935, transports us back to a simpler time. With no modern distractions, the focus is on the beauty of nature and the simple pleasures of a day at the beach. The sun, sea, and sand invite relaxation and rejuvenation, making Bigbury-on-Sea a timeless retreat that continues to captivate visitors to this day.
