EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning aerial photograph, taken by Aerofilms Ltd in May 1972, captures the picturesque Glasson Dock in Thurnham, Lancashire. The image offers a unique bird's-eye view of the historic port and harbour, revealing its intricate layout and the vibrant blue waters of Morecambe Bay. Glasson Dock, established in the late 18th century, has played a significant role in the region's maritime history. The dock was built to accommodate larger vessels that could not reach the older, shallower docks in the area. The image reveals the dock's impressive quay walls, which are lined with a variety of boats and vessels, ranging from small fishing boats to larger leisure craft. The photograph also showcases the surrounding landscape, with the lush green fields and meandering River Lune in the foreground, and the rolling hills and woodlands of the Lancashire countryside in the background. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past and the rich maritime heritage of Glasson Dock. The historic port continues to be a popular destination for visitors, offering a range of amenities, including a marina, shops, and restaurants. It is also home to the Glasson Dock Heritage Centre, which tells the story of the dock's history and the local area's maritime heritage. This photograph is a testament to the beauty and significance of Glasson Dock and the important role it has played in the region's maritime history. It serves as a reminder of the past and the importance of preserving our historic sites for future generations to enjoy.
