I keep getting something about railways and sleeping dogs! No sign of a Southport Lido.

Someone is all wax and no wick.

Well done Jantzen, and i have found out that reprints of that poster are available but pricy around £45. You might be interested to learn that the smooth rubber pull on swimcaps are back in stock. They have a neat seal around the edge,

HI G

Thanks for the comment. The original posters in my opinion were stunning and I did consider bidding when they went to auction. I foolishly thought they might reach a few hundred pounds, not the thousands they individually reached. They capture the age, the era, the point of view and the hopefulness for the future.

Do you have a link to where reprint can be obtained from?

I do have some of these images reprinted on a calendar somewhere, unfortunately they were split across the page layout top to bottom so the image has a seam across it. I'll try and dig it out sometime.

Cheers

Thanks for that Garlor. It's a very interesting site that I had not visited before.

I shall be a frequent visitor in the future.
