Candid Huts Jul17 Pair Polka Promenade Stern Stylish Torquay Well Dressed
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a mother and daughter duo are seen enjoying a sunny day at Torquaye Beach in Devon, England, during the late 1920s. The image captures a candid moment of their leisurely day at the seaside, with both women dressed in fashionable attire that belies the sandy and watery surroundings. The mother, with a stern yet loving expression, dons a stylish hat and a smartly tailored dress with a high waistline and long sleeves, complete with a string of pearls around her neck. Her heels, while elegant, seem somewhat impractical for the beach setting. The daughter, on the other hand, looks carefree and joyful in her polka-dot summer dress, accessorized with a sun hat and a bucket and spade at the ready. Torquaye, a popular South Coast resort town, was known for its elegant promenade, colorful beach huts, and bustling seaside atmosphere. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, when families would dress up for a day out at the beach, and the simple pleasures of building sandcastles and paddling in the sea were cherished memories. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the special bond between a mother and daughter, as they create lasting memories together, dressed in their best, at the beautiful Torquaye seaside. The image is a timeless treasure, evoking a sense of nostalgia and wonder, and a reminder of the enduring allure of the British coast.
