EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Spittal near Berwick upon Tweed during the Victorian period. The image, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to a bygone era of simplicity and charm. The quaint fishing village, nestled on the north bank of the River Tweed, is bustling with activity. Fishermen, dressed in their traditional attire, are busy mending their nets and preparing their boats for a day's work. Their wives, or 'fishwives,' can be seen sorting and selling the day's catch on the quayside. The scene is a vibrant mix of old and new, with traditional wooden boats and steam-powered ships anchored at the harbor. The air is filled with the salty scent of the sea and the sound of seagulls calling in the distance. The photograph captures the essence of a thriving fishing community, where the rhythm of life is dictated by the ebb and flow of the tide. The Victorian era may be long gone, but this image offers a glimpse into a time when life was simpler, and the connection to the land and sea was deeply rooted. The lantern slide, a popular form of visual entertainment during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, adds to the vintage charm of the photograph. It invites us to imagine the stories that were once told as the flickering light illuminated the images of faraway places and familiar scenes. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and traditions of Spittal near Berwick upon Tweed and the importance of the fishing industry to the community during the Victorian period.
