EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 20th century with this print of "Fashionable Folkstone, Kent". Taken around 1910, this vintage poster from the South Eastern & Chatham Railway transports us to an era filled with seaside charm and fashionable holidaymakers. The image showcases the bustling beaches of Folkestone, a popular resort town on the southeast coast of England. As we gaze upon it, we are instantly drawn into a vibrant scene where crowds gather along the sandy shores and picturesque piers. The atmosphere is alive with excitement as families enjoy their summer holidays, basking in the warm sun and relishing in leisurely activities. Not only does this print capture moments of pure joy and relaxation, but it also offers a glimpse into early 20th-century fashion trends. Women can be seen donning elegant dresses paired with wide-brimmed hats while strolling along the promenade or lounging under colorful parasols. Men sport dapper suits complete with straw boater hats as they engage in lively conversations or partake in beachside games. This remarkable piece from National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection allows us to immerse ourselves in an enchanting world where Folkestone was at its peak as a sought-after tourist destination. It serves as a reminder that even over a century later, there is still something timeless about coastal resorts and their ability to captivate our hearts through both fashion and leisurely pursuits.
