Hastings Holidaymakers 1927 Wagstaff
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of summer leisure and the joy of travel in the 1920s as holidaymakers explore the bustling streets of Hastings, Sussex, with their car. Dressed in their finest holiday attire, the group appears to be making the most of their time away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The car, a symbol of freedom and adventure, is parked on the side of the road, its roof adorned with a striped awning to shield its passengers from the sun. The scene is set against the backdrop of a thriving seaside resort, with shops and cafes lining the street, their windows displaying an array of enticing goods. The atmosphere is lively and vibrant, as families and friends stroll along the pavement, enjoying the sights and sounds of the seaside. The date of this photograph is June 1927, a time when the automobile was becoming increasingly popular as a means of transportation for holidays. The 1920s, also known as the 'Roaring Twenties,' were characterized by a sense of liberation and excitement, as people embraced new trends and experiences. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the way people spent their leisure time during this era. Hastings, a popular seaside resort on the south coast of England, has been drawing visitors for centuries, thanks to its beautiful beaches, historic Old Town, and rich cultural heritage. Today, it remains a popular destination for those seeking a traditional British seaside experience, with its charming streets, quaint shops, and stunning views of the English Channel.
