%unrestricted Charabanc Cliftonville Daytrippers Edwardians Gathered Holidaymakers Obligatory Outing Souvenir
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of a quintessential Edwardian day out by the seaside at Cliftonville Holiday Resort, circa 1912. A cheerful group of holidaymakers, dressed in their Sunday best, have gathered at Palm Bay and Westbrook in Margate for the obligatory souvenir photo of their outing. The charabanc, a popular mode of transport for day-trippers during this era, is parked nearby, adding to the sense of excitement and adventure. The women wear elegant dresses and hats, while the men don suits and bowlers, reflecting the formal dress code of the time. Children, dressed in their Sunday best, are sprinkled among the adults, adding a touch of innocence and joy to the scene. The women clasp their handbags, while some hold parasols to shield themselves from the sun. The beach, with its golden sands and clear blue waters, stretches out before them, inviting relaxation and enjoyment. The pier, with its pavilion and amusement park rides, can be seen in the background, promising fun and entertainment for the whole family. This photograph is a charming reminder of a simpler time, when a day at the seaside was a much-anticipated treat for families and friends. The Edwardian era, with its emphasis on leisure and pleasure, is beautifully captured in this image, making it a must-have for any collection of historical photographs or nostalgic memorabilia.
