EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a joyful moment during a boat ride at Skegness, Lincolnshire. The image showcases a couple and their young boy, immersed in the excitement of this water ride during a Laing staff day trip. The year was 1954, and after a hiatus of seven years, Laing had revived their Area Outings for employees and their families. This particular outing to Skegness was organized for those residing in the Midlands and South Yorkshire regions. It was one of several trips planned over five weeks in May and June. In an era where leisure activities were cherished as precious moments of respite from daily routines, this photograph beautifully encapsulates the spirit of family life in post-war Britain. The fashion choices reflect the trends of the time – men donning suits with hats while women elegantly dressed in skirts or dresses. Amidst laughter and anticipation, this family enjoys their day out at the seaside amusement park. Their smiles are contagious as they embrace the thrill offered by this boat ride experience. Preserved within Historic England Archive's collection, this snapshot not only immortalizes personal memories but also serves as a testament to Laing's commitment to fostering camaraderie among its staff members through these outings.
