MAP KEYSo Bracing!
In 1873, the arrival of the railway to Skegness brought with it an influx of holidaymakers. To advertise the increasingly popular destination, The Great Northern Railway produced a poster using John Hassall’s timeless
masterpiece of ‘The Jolly Fisherman’, which they bought in 1908 for twelve guineas, and added the now famous slogan ‘Skegness is SO Bracing’!
Grandsire BobIn 1629, as the fog blanketed the sea, Captain Frohock and his ship, the Mary Rose, searched in vain for
Lincolnshire’s coastline mindful that many made their living from wrecking ships. Sexton Guymer rang out a warning on Grandsire Bob, Burgh le Marsh’s church tenor bell, in hope that lives would be saved Be safe - plan ahead and follow any signs
