EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the idyllic summer of 1937, as captured by this enchanting print from Teignmouth Beach in Devon. The image, part of the GWR's publicity campaign, showcases the picturesque west end of the beach with its golden sands and crystal-clear waters. As holidaymakers bask under the warm August sun, their laughter mingles with the gentle lapping of waves against the shore. The scene is a delightful snapshot of seaside bliss, where families and friends frolic in the sea while others relax on their colorful beach towels. In every direction, joyous faces are adorned with wide smiles and carefree expressions. Beyond them lies Shaldon village, nestled on the opposite side of Teign estuary—a tranquil sight that completes this coastal panorama. Transported back to an era defined by simplicity and leisurely pursuits, we can almost feel ourselves sinking our toes into soft sand or taste saltwater spray on our lips. This photograph encapsulates a time when holidays were cherished respites from everyday life—a chance to create treasured memories amidst nature's beauty. Preserved within STEAM Museum's collection, this glimpse into history serves as a reminder that some things never change: people have always sought solace and delight along sandy shores. It invites us to reflect upon our own experiences at Teignmouth Beach—perhaps even inspiring future adventures filled with sunshine-soaked days and endless laughter.
