1. Title: A Timeless Seaside Tradition: Holidaymakers Riding Donkeys on the Sandy Beach (Early 20th Century) 2.. This photograph, taken in the early 20th century, showcases a quintessential seaside scene with holidaymakers enjoying a leisurely ride on donkeys along the sandy beach. Dressed in their Edwardian finery, women and a few men gracefully sit sidesaddle atop the gentle creatures, their elegant costumes contrasting starkly against the wet, shaking donkeys and the sandy terrain. The women's outfits, complete with wide-brimmed hats and long skirts, exude an air of genteel sophistication, while their companions, dressed in more casual attire, appear to be having just as much fun. A dog, seemingly unfazed by the commotion, lies comfortably on the beach nearby, basking in the sun. Deckchairs, a popular seaside accessory, are arranged neatly on the sand, inviting relaxation and leisurely enjoyment of the sun, sea, and sand. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, reminding us of the simple pleasures and traditions that have endured through the generations. As we admire this historical image, we are transported back in time, imagining the laughter, the salty sea breeze, and the joy that filled the days of these holidaymakers as they made cherished memories at the seaside resort.
