EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken in the 1990s, we find two sisters, Annie James and Kath Evans, effortlessly navigating the River Severn at Hampton Loade in Shropshire. With a combined age of over 140 years, they have been operating the passenger ferry, which glides across the river relying solely on the current pushing against the rudder, for more than three decades. The sisters' connection with the ferry service stretches back to the 1960s, making them an integral part of its rich history. The ferry, which is suspended by a simple cable and pulley system, has been a vital means of transportation for locals and tourists alike, providing a unique and picturesque way to cross the river. The sisters' reaction as they navigate the boat, with their focused expressions and steady hands, speaks volumes about their experience and the deep-rooted tradition of the ferry service. As the current carries the ferry gently across the river, the sisters' bond is evident as they work together in perfect harmony. The serene atmosphere of the scene is a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of modern life, offering a glimpse into a simpler time. The fact that the ferry service is still in operation today is a testament to the sisters' dedication and the enduring charm of this traditional mode of transport. This photograph, taken in 1990, captures a moment in time that celebrates the sisters' unwavering commitment to their community and the beauty of the natural world.
