EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR transports us back to a sunny August day in 1931, capturing the timeless beauty of Sidmouth in Devon. Taken from Salcombe Hill, this GWR publicity view showcases the picturesque coastal town in all its glory. As we gaze upon the image, we are immediately drawn to the bustling promenade that stretches along the coast. Despite it being high tide, people can be seen leisurely strolling along the promenade, seemingly unaffected by nature's ebb and flow. The vibrant energy emanating from these individuals perfectly encapsulates summer bliss and carefree enjoyment. Their presence adds a sense of scale and life to an already breathtaking scene. The cliffside location offers a unique perspective on Sidmouth's stunning coastline. With its rugged cliffs meeting with crashing waves below, one cannot help but feel awe-inspired by nature's grandeur on display. The juxtaposition between land and sea creates a harmonious balance that is both calming and invigorating. Sidmouth itself exudes charm with its quaint buildings nestled against rolling hillsides. This idyllic seaside retreat has long been cherished for its natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere – qualities that have made it a beloved destination for generations. As we admire this vintage photograph, we are reminded of how timelessly beautiful our world can be. It serves as a gentle reminder to appreciate not only our surroundings but also those simple moments spent enjoying them – just as those individuals did on that delightful August day over nine
