EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the summer of 1928 with this print from Bantham, Devon. The Great Western Railway (GWR) proudly presents a picturesque view of this charming coastal town, nestled along the stunning south Devon coast. As August unfolds, a delightful scene unfolds before our eyes - a multitude of tents scattered amidst the lush grass-covered dunes. Transporting us to an era where simplicity and nature intertwined harmoniously, this snapshot captures the essence of summer camping in its purest form. Families and friends seeking respite from bustling city life flocked to Bantham's sandy shores for their annual seaside retreats. With each tent carefully pitched among the undulating sand dunes, it is evident that these visitors sought solace and tranquility amidst Mother Nature's embrace. The warm August sun casts its golden glow upon both land and sea, illuminating every blade of grass and grain of sand. Laughter echoes through the air as children frolic on the beach or build magnificent sandcastles against a backdrop of rolling waves. Meanwhile, adults indulge in leisurely strolls along the shore or engage in spirited conversations under canvas canopies. This evocative image serves as a timeless reminder that some things never change - even after nearly a century has passed since that blissful summer in 1928. It beckons us to relish those simple pleasures found within nature's embrace while cherishing cherished moments spent with loved ones by our side.
