EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Lewis in July 1962, we are transported back to a simpler time when holidaymakers sought entertainment at the beach. The scene unfolds at Dawlish Warren in Devon, where a wooden chalet stands proudly on the sandy shore. However, this is no ordinary seaside structure; it serves as a betting shop for eager gamblers looking to test their luck. The image depicts a group of vacationers huddled around the chalet, engrossed in studying the form guide before placing their bets. Their faces reflect both concentration and anticipation as they meticulously analyze the newspaper's pages filled with racing statistics and odds. It is evident that these individuals have dedicated their leisurely day under the sun to indulge in some thrilling gambling action. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates an era when reading newspapers was not limited to gathering news but also served as essential tools for recreational activities like betting. The wooden chalet itself adds charm and character to the scene, blending seamlessly with its idyllic coastal surroundings. Lewis has skillfully frozen this moment in time, allowing us to glimpse into a bygone era where holidays were spent embracing simple pleasures such as enjoying beachside amusements while immersing oneself in games of chance. This print from Memory Lane Prints captures nostalgia at its finest – reminding us of how our leisure pursuits have evolved over time while preserving cherished memories from decades past.
