EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage print captures the essence of Whitley Bay, a popular coastal resort in Tyne & Wear, around 1910. Produced by the North Eastern Railway (NER) to promote this idyllic destination, the image showcases a picturesque view of the beach. The sandy shores are teeming with life as children and adults alike enjoy leisurely walks and paddle in the refreshing waters. The scene exudes a sense of carefree joy, with families building sandcastles and creating lasting memories against the backdrop of Whitley Bay's natural beauty. The fashion trends of that era are also on display, providing a glimpse into early 20th-century beach attire. It is worth noting that in 1923, NER merged with London & North Eastern Railway (LNER), marking an important milestone in railway history. However, this photograph serves as a timeless reminder of simpler times when Whitley Bay was still under NER's stewardship. Preserved by the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print offers viewers an enchanting window into Whitley Bay's past. It transports us back to an era where coastal resorts were cherished destinations for relaxation and recreation. Whether you have personal ties to this region or simply appreciate historical photographs capturing moments frozen in time, this image evokes nostalgia for days spent at seaside resorts like Whitley Bay over a century ago.
