British Seaside Posters - part 2

 In 1871, the British Government declared the Bank Holidays act, throughout the year there were official holidays allowing people time away from their jobs. While the wealthier families often stayed for a week in the summer, the great improvements made to the railway system some thirty years before allowed the working classes to get away on day trips for some healthy fresh air at seaside towns. This great influx of visitors led entrepreneurs to build accommodation and new attractions to capitalise and kick started economic growth in the coastal towns.

This is part 2 of a 4-part series on British Seaside Posters:
