Title - Summer Trips To Harrogate And Knaresborough Each Weekday until 4 September.
Location - Yorkshire, England.
Artist - Anon.
Description - This poster for trips from Hull to Harrogate and Knaresborough uses a simple "Stock" image of a family disembarking from a train. British Railways would have had a large number of these posters printed with just the image, and then they would have been run through the printers again to add whatever wording was required at the time. This way one poster image could be reused many times and for many events over a number of years.
It shows prices and times for departures from Hull. It is undated, but the printing details at the bottom are for 1965.
Excursion posters were always printed in small numbers, so very few examples have survived.
