EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the summer of 1959, when British Railways (BR) Eastern Region (ER) enticed travelers to the enchanting Norfolk seaside resort of Great Yarmouth. The poster, skillfully crafted by artist Bagley, showcases a mesmerizing aerial view of the beach and sea, with the iconic Britannia Pier stealing the spotlight. Standing proudly in the foreground is the Marina Open Air Theatre, a beloved landmark that once graced this picturesque town. Built in 1937 as an entertainment haven for locals and visitors alike, this open-air theater held countless performances under its starlit canopy. Sadly, progress took its toll on this cherished venue when it was demolished in 1979 to make way for a modern seafront leisure complex. However, through this timeless image captured by Jordison & Co Ltd. , we can relish in its former glory forever. The dimensions of this remarkable print measure at an impressive 1010mm x 635mm – large enough to transport you into the heart of Great Yarmouth's vibrant atmosphere. Whether you're reminiscing about past holidays spent here or yearning for new adventures along Britain's coastlines, let this evocative artwork from NRM/Pictorial Collection be your window into a bygone era filled with sun-soaked beaches and charming seaside towns like no other.
