The Jolly Fisherman, Skegness, Lincolnshire

John Hassall drew the original Jolly Fisherman Poster in 1908 having visited Skegness only once. The poster was commissioned by the Great Northern Railway to encourage visitors to use them for their seaside breaks. The slogan "Skegness is so bracing" formed part of the poster and is as famous as Jolly himself.
May 1989 saw the unveiling of the new Jolly Fisherman statue in Compass Gardens.
