In a quiet corner of Lowestoft, on the Suffolk coast, the Lakeside Ballroom at Gunton Hall once echoed with laughter, music, and the elegant clink of glasses. This finely printed postcard captures a still moment within the lounge: curved brick walls, smooth wood pillars, and period furniture all combining to reflect the understated style of British postwar holiday resorts.

Gunton Hall was among the popular destinations that flourished during the golden age of British domestic travel, offering holidaymakers a touch of glamour by the sea. With a focus on comfort and sociability, its interiors were designed for relaxed evenings and lively dances. Photographed by Ford Jenkins and printed by W. S. Cowell Ltd., Butter Market, Ipswich, this card exemplifies the high-quality photographic production for which Cowell was known — particularly in the 1950s–70s period.

Well preserved with only light signs of age, this card offers a quietly elegant glimpse into Britain’s leisure heritage, ideal for collectors of seaside nostalgia, resort architecture, or postwar design ephemera.
