Barbecue Drawn Isle Season Trams Wrestling Douglas
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print captures a nostalgic scene from the 1960s on the Isle of Man, where horse-drawn trams were a popular mode of transport in Douglas. The two trams pictured here are not only a means of getting around town, but also serve as unique advertising platforms. One tram advertises wrestling, likely attracting sports fans and spectators to upcoming matches. The other tram promotes an Open Air Barbecue, enticing passersby with the promise of delicious food and outdoor dining.
The image evokes a sense of summer holiday season in Britain during this era, when families would flock to seaside destinations like Douglas for fun-filled vacations. The sight of these quaint horse-drawn trams rolling along the streets adds to the historical charm of the setting.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from the past, we are reminded of simpler times when transportation was slower-paced and advertisements were more whimsical. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technology and modern conveniences, while also celebrating the enduring appeal of traditional forms of travel.
Overall, this print is a delightful glimpse into British history and nostalgia for days gone by.
