EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the nostalgic era of 1961, where British Railways (Eastern Region) sought to entice holidaymakers with the charm of Skegness. The iconic poster, based on the delightful artwork by John Hassall, features none other than the beloved Jolly Fisherman alongside a young boy clutching a vibrant red balloon. The image exudes an air of timeless joy and adventure as it captures both old and young reveling in the bracing allure of Skegness. The Jolly Fisherman, with his wide grin and outstretched arms, embodies the spirit of fun that awaits all who visit this seaside haven. Towering above them are colorful balloons floating against a backdrop of enchanting fairground attractions. This photograph is not just about boys and children having a jolly good time; it encapsulates an entire experience synonymous with British summers. It transports us to a world where families flocked to coastal towns for sun-soaked days filled with laughter and excitement. Preserved within the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print serves as a reminder of simpler times when British Railways played an integral role in connecting people to their cherished holiday destinations. It evokes fond memories while also serving as an invitation for future generations to explore Skegness's enduring appeal. Let this charming snapshot transport you back in time or inspire your next seaside adventure – because even today, Skegness remains "so bracing!"
