EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in a moment frozen in time, this vintage print transports us back to the vibrant seaside town of Plymouth in 1961. The sun shines brightly, casting its warm glow upon the waterfront, as if it were already summer. The scene is alive with anticipation and joy as early bathing belles succumb to temptation and take their first dip of the season. Among them stands Julia Serridge, a spirited schoolgirl of just fourteen years old. With an infectious smile on her face, she fearlessly plunges into the refreshing waters of Devon's coast. Her youthful exuberance embodies the carefree spirit of springtime by the sea. In her classic swimming costume, Julia epitomizes both innocence and confidence that only teenagers possess. As she emerges from the water glistening under the sunshine's embrace, one can't help but feel inspired by her zest for life. This photograph captures not only a single moment but also an entire era –the swinging sixties– where youthfulness and freedom reigned supreme. It serves as a reminder that even amidst changing times, some things remain constant: like the warmth of sunshine on our skin and the timeless allure of coastal towns. Reg Lewis expertly immortalized this slice of history through his lens; his artistry allows us to relive these cherished memories over half a century later.
