EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and nostalgic print takes us back to the 1950s, capturing the essence of a bygone era. The poster, produced for British Railways (BR), showcases the picturesque coastal resort of Bognor Regis as a popular holiday destination. With its sandy beaches and refreshing sea breeze, Bognor Regis beckons visitors from London Victoria on frequent electric trains. The artwork by Alan Durman beautifully depicts the charm and allure of this West Sussex seaside town. As we gaze at the poster, we are transported to a time when families would eagerly pack their swimsuits and head to Bognor Regis for a day of fun in the sun. The people featured in this image exude joy and excitement as they enjoy their personal moments on the beach. Their colorful swimming costumes add an extra touch of nostalgia to this scene, reminding us of simpler times when life was filled with carefree moments spent by the coast. This railway poster is not just a piece of art; it also serves as a reminder of how railways played an integral role in promoting tourism during that era. It reflects both British Railways' commitment to providing efficient transportation services and their desire to showcase Britain's beautiful destinations. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print captures not only a moment in history but also evokes feelings of warmth, happiness, and longing for those idyllic summer days spent at Bognor Regis.
