Holiday haunts (1939)

Holiday haunts 1939 cover

‘Holiday Haunts’ was the official GWR holiday guide. 1929 was the first year it was published with full colour covers. They were used on all subsequent issues apart from 1940 when a photographic image was used instead. The art deco influence is very clear.

The guide was published annually in March and covered England, Wales, Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. It was beautifully illustrated and came complete with maps. It contained addresses of thousands of hotels, boarding houses, seaside and country lodgings.
