EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the essence of seaside bliss, this vintage print showcases a heartwarming scene on Bournemouth beach in the 1950s. A man and three children, likely colleagues from Laings London office, can be seen enjoying a day trip to the shoreline during a staff outing. The image perfectly encapsulates the joy of family life and recreation by the sea. The Breaking New Ground Project, in collaboration with the John Laing Charitable Trust, catalogued this photograph as part of their efforts to preserve and celebrate moments that shaped our history. It serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of Laing employees who found solace and happiness amidst their busy work lives. In an era where technology was not yet dominant, families often sought refuge at coastal destinations like Bournemouth for relaxation and quality time together. This picture is reminiscent of simpler times when building sandcastles, splashing in waves, and collecting seashells were cherished childhood memories. Preserved by Historic England Archive, this image allows us to step back in time and appreciate how generations before us embraced leisurely pursuits. It reminds us that even amidst bustling city life or demanding careers, taking a break to enjoy nature's wonders with loved ones remains invaluable.
