Conducted Rambles Sevenoaks
One sheet poster is a vintage
British Railways advertisement from the late 1940s or early 1950s promoting "Conducted Rambles" (guided walks) in the English countryside.
The artwork features a botanical arrangement of autumn leaves—including oak, maple, chestnut, and ivy—designed to evoke the scenic beauty of the regions mentioned.
Key Poster Details
Purpose: To promote off-peak leisure travel and guided walking tours ("Conducted Rambles") during the autumn months.
Destinations:
October 31st: Sevenoaks, Hildenborough, and Tonbridge (for Knole Park and the Medway Valley).
November 14th: Ifield and Faygate (for St. Leonards Forest).
Artist: While many "Rambles" posters from this era were designed by Audrey Weber (who created a famous four-season series), this specific leaf-centric design is often attributed to Kay Stewart (whose signature is visible in the bottom right corner of the artwork).
Historical Context: These posters were part of a broader effort by British Railways (and its predecessor, Southern Railway) to encourage city dwellers to explore the countryside via the rail network.
