EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Lewis in July 1962, we are transported back to a time when holidays were all about sun, sand, and a little bit of excitement. The image showcases a wooden chalet on the picturesque beach at Dawlish Warren in Devon, transformed into a bustling betting shop for eager holidaymakers. As the warm summer breeze gently ruffles their hair, men and women line up outside the chalet, eagerly awaiting their turn to place bets. Their faces reflect anticipation mixed with joy as they engage in friendly banter while clutching their betting slips tightly. The atmosphere is alive with energy and camaraderie as strangers bond over shared hopes of winning big. The charm of this scene lies not only in its nostalgic appeal but also in the unique juxtaposition between leisurely beach activities and the thrill of gambling. It serves as a reminder that even amidst idyllic seaside settings, human nature seeks out moments of exhilaration and risk-taking. Lewis's photograph beautifully captures both the architectural beauty of the wooden chalet against the backdrop of rolling waves and sandy shores. This snapshot freezes an era where traditional buildings catered to holidaymakers' desires for entertainment beyond just lounging under umbrellas or building sandcastles. This remarkable print from Memory Lane Prints transports us back to an era where carefree days at the beach were complemented by daring wagers placed within charming seaside structures like this wooden chalet turned betting shop.
