EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time to the golden era of seaside holidays with this print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR. Taken in June 1951, it transports us to Great Western Beach in Newquay, Cornwall. The image captures a vibrant scene where holidaymakers bask in the summer sun on this picturesque stretch of sand. As our gaze wanders across the photograph, we are drawn towards the Island House Bridge that gracefully spans above. This charming bridge serves as a gateway between land and sea, inviting visitors to explore further into this coastal paradise. The beach is teeming with life as families and friends revel in their well-deserved vacations. Laughter fills the air as children build sandcastles while others frolic along the water's edge. Sun umbrellas dotting the shoreline provide respite from the warm rays overhead. Cornwall's natural beauty shines through every element of this picture-perfect scene - from its rugged coastline to its crystal-clear waters. The island at its base adds an enchanting touch, creating an idyllic backdrop for cherished memories. This evocative snapshot encapsulates all that made Newquay such a sought-after destination during those halcyon days of post-war Britain. It reminds us how precious these moments were and continues to inspire generations who long for carefree summers by the sea.
