I would have loved to walk down the streets in the days when that kind of advertising was all around.<br /><br />If you look hard, you can still find it painted into the sides of buildings in London. I must take a photo of one particular building near my work.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11931248631361366673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-42971134313160841762010-07-27T15:36:44.536+10:002010-07-27T15:36:44.536+10:00Thank you everybody.

I have been on the Dover-Calais link myself and found it perfectly functional, but definitely not sexy.<br /><br />Getting back to foto fanatic's point about travelling for pleasure Vs travelling for immigration and a better life. <br /><br />These travel posters were definitely targetting families with just enough extra money for a two week holiday on the Continent. It was to be fun, romantic, exciting and novel, but it was only for a short time and it was not ridiculously expensive. After the holiday was over, the families would have to go back to work and school, as usual.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-65926363027805738442010-07-27T15:19:12.929+10:002010-07-27T15:19:12.929+10:00I too have travelled on the Hook to Harwich trip -...I too have travelled on the Hook to Harwich trip - in 1977 - on my return from living and working in Frankfurt, (having travelled on the Rheingold Express from Frankfurt to the Hook). I had a slight hitch - overslept upon arrival in the Hook, and missed the ship, so had to stay overnight. All the result of drinking too much wine at dinner.columnisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03764365428633038329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-3345241525856632192010-07-27T13:16:26.922+10:002010-07-27T13:16:26.922+10:00I love the posters, too.

The aristocracy and wealthy would always have been able to travel, so I suppose there was an emerging middle class of travellers.<br /><br />Certainly the British & European migrants that were neighbours in the housing commission area I grew up in were not travellers for amusement - they were seeking a better life. Many had assisted passages.<br /><br /><b>tff</b>the foto fanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17234840691455844914noreply@blogger.com
