EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back to the 1950s when British Railways (BR) sought to promote travel to Suffolk. The poster showcases an exquisite view across the tranquil River Deben, inviting viewers to explore the picturesque town of Woodbridge. At the heart of this idyllic scene stands the ancient Tide Mill, a testament to centuries of history and craftsmanship. Dating back to the 12th century, this remarkable structure has withstood the test of time and was lovingly restored during the 20th century. Its weathered exterior exudes charm and character, while its sturdy frame tells tales of countless tides that have ebbed and flowed. The artwork by Jack Merriott beautifully captures every detail – from the gently rolling waves lapping against wooden quaysides, to boats bobbing in harmony with nature's rhythm. This image transports us into a world where simplicity reigns supreme; where riverside living is synonymous with tranquility and contentment. Measuring at an impressive 1014 mm x 633 mm, this print demands attention as it adorns any wall or space lucky enough to showcase it. It serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and a nostalgic reminder for those who once traveled on British Railways' trains through Suffolk's enchanting landscapes. National Railway Museum proudly presents this timeless piece that not only celebrates our rich heritage but also invites us all on an unforgettable journey through time.
