EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Bursting of the Stour Valley Canal, the Empty Reach looking towards Dudley Port" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Captured by an English photographer during the 19th century, this print showcases a dramatic scene that unfolded along the waterways. In this image, we are transported to a time when accidents were not uncommon on the Stour Valley Canal. The photo depicts a burst section of the canal known as the Empty Reach, with its gaze directed towards Dudley Port. The sheer force of nature is evident as water gushes out from where it should flow calmly through these man-made channels. Originally published in The Illustrated London News on September 23rd, 1899, this photograph serves as both documentation and illustration of an event that captivated readers at that time. It offers us a glimpse into the challenges faced by those who relied on these canals for transportation and trade. As we admire this historical snapshot captured by an anonymous English photographer from long ago, we are reminded of photography's power to freeze moments in time forever. This particular print now resides within a private collection but continues to serve as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience amidst unforeseen circumstances along our intricate waterway systems.
