Color-tinted photographic postcard of the Promenade at Torquay, Devon — the English Riviera at its most animated. The seafront promenade is crowded with Edwardian and interwar visitors strolling along the waterfront; a line of pre-war automobiles (1930s British cars) is parked along the road to the right. Ornamental gardens with a central planting of spiky cordyline palms divide the promenade from the road. The sandy beach and the pale turquoise waters of Torbay are visible, with a bandstand or pavilion structure in the middle distance and the town's seafront hotels visible at right. The subtropical vegetation typical of the "English Riviera" — palms growing outdoors in Devon — adds an almost Mediterranean quality to the scene.
