Buxton ………….. The Holiday Resort of Beauty

Now I have Steve Marland to thank for this poster.

I grew up with these posters which would be on display at railway stations, and added interest and colour to some of the grimy and slightly run down places I knew as child, growing up in the 1950s.

This poster was produced by John Canning who was who a fine commercial artist.

And rather than steal someone else’s research I will just direct you to the link Steve found for me.

Of course I could say something about Buxton, but I think the poster says it all.

Location; Buxton
