    ... Skegness was primarily a fishing village and small port,[9] and significant numbers of visitors were not seen before the arrival of the railway in 1875. In 1908, the Great Northern Railway commissioned a poster to advertise excursions to the resort: the first such excursion was from King's Cross, London on Good Friday 1908, leaving London at 11.30 am.[10] The "Skegness is so Bracing" poster featuring the Jolly Fisherman helped to put Skegness on the map and is now famous. The poster, derived from an oil painting by John Hassall, was purchased by the railway company for 12 guineas (£12.60).[10] However Mr Hassall did not visit the resort until 1936. He is said to have died penniless. ... From - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skegness#Railway

    It's all desolate now on Google Maps
    The original shaded lettering "17?" is more ornate than the new lettering "CIE".

    blackpoolbeach Thanks Pete. Now located on Flickr Map. Plus thanks for CIÉ rather than CN. The hook is a little obscuring, but I had thought I could see a stroke...
