Themes - Beyond the city > Seaside
Southend was the only seaside resort advertised on the Underground. Electric trains took holiday makers as far as Barking, where mainline steam locomotives took over for the rest of the journey. Several of the most striking designs were painted by the marine artist Charles Pears. Others, by VL Danvers and Frank Newbould, are very similar to contemporary railway posters for coastal destinations.
