EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of pure joy and camaraderie on Bournemouth beach in the 1950s. A group of young women, dressed in fashionable clothing of the era, are seen enjoying a staff outing from Laings London office. The image exudes an undeniable sense of recreation and seaside bliss. The Breaking New Ground Project, in collaboration with the John Laing Charitable Trust, catalogued this photograph as part of their efforts to preserve historical moments like these. It serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of Laing employees who took time off from their busy schedules to unwind by the sea. The sandy backdrop provides a picturesque setting for this group portrait. Smiles adorn each face as they bask in the warm sunlight, creating memories that will last a lifetime. This snapshot encapsulates not only a day at the beach but also represents an era when day trippers flocked to coastal towns for leisurely escapes. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Historic England Archive's talented photographer Joh, we are transported back in time to witness carefree laughter and carefree spirits united on Bournemouth beach. It is through photographs like these that we can appreciate our shared history and celebrate those who came before us - leaving behind legacies worth cherishing.
