Whitley Bay vintage postmark art print with St. Mary’s lighthouse

Description

A high-quality print featuring the classic vintage postmark that publicised Whitley Bay for more than a decade during the golden age of letters, postcards and British seaside holidays.

The original miniature work in ink graced doormats and breakfast tables in the UK & beyond throughout the years 1964-74, promoting Whitley Bay with a beautiful ink stamp of St. Mary’s lighthouse and the tagline: miles of curving golden sand.

Now you can enjoy it – digitally restored – on a premium print that shows off its beauty, character and the lovely variation of ink & tone that makes every postmark unique.

In fact, we chose this particular imprint over several others because of the cloud-like smudges either side of the lighthouse. They weren’t part of the original design but made their way onto the envelope (as often happened) and we hope you’ll agree that they work really well!

A great gift for anyone who loves Whitley Bay.
