Thornton-Cleveleys Lancashire LMS Railway
Original vintage travel poster for the seaside resort of Thornton-Cleveleys on the Lancashire coast issued by the London Midland and Scottish Railway LMS - Design by McCorquodale Studios features a mother wearing an emerald green swimsuit paired with a vibrant, multicoloured beach wrap looking down at her young child, who is dressed in a white sun bonnet and is playing with an orange bucket and spade in the sand. The background includes other holidaymakers enjoying the sea. Thornton-Cleveleys consists of the village of Thornton and the town of Cleveleys which formed a joint urban district from 1927 until 1974, before becoming part of Wyre, Lancashire. McCorquodale Studios was historically one of the largest and most prominent transport and commercial printing companies in the United Kingdom active primarily during the golden age of British rail travel in the 1920s and 1930s. Good condition, restored folds, restored tears, restored paper loss in bottom left corner, staining, backed on linen.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All antique and vintage posters listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Most of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves drawing a reverse image of each colour onto a piece of stone. The poster sheet is then imprinted consecutively with a stone slab for each colour, creating a stunning and rich image.
With the exception of silk printing, I believe that other printing techniques do not deliver the same impact of colour as lithography.
Where do you deliver to?
We ship posters worldwide rolled in shock-resistant and hard wearing tubes. Unless specified otherwise, delivery is free within the UK and standard international delivery is £35 for orders placed via our website.
