The Golden Age of British Seaside Holidays
Before the rise of cheap overseas travel, Britain’s coastal towns thrived as vibrant holiday destinations. Roker and Seaburn, located on the Sunderland coastline, became especially popular in the mid‑20th century thanks to their clean beaches, promenades, amusements, and well‑organised seasonal entertainment.
Brochures like this one were produced by local committees to attract workers and families seeking an affordable, cheerful break by the sea. Today, they offer a vivid snapshot of the era’s holiday culture and the visual style that defined British seaside promotion.
