The poster, skillfully designed by renowned artist John Littlejohns, effortlessly captures the essence of this popular destination in Tyne and Wear. As we gaze upon this vintage masterpiece, we are transported to a time where bathing belles frolic joyously in their fashionable swimming costumes amidst the sparkling sea. Their carefree laughter mingles with the sound of crashing waves as they lounge gracefully on sun-kissed rocks. Littlejohns' artistic prowess shines through every brushstroke; his attention to detail is evident in each delicate line that brings life and vibrancy to this idyllic scene.
