EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, titled "Torquay EAW007582 (The Old and New Harbour and the town, Torquay, Devon, 1947)", offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the coastal charm of Torquay during the 1940s. The image showcases both the old and new harbours nestled amidst this picturesque seaside town in Devon. As our eyes wander across the print, we are immediately struck by the stark contrast between tradition and progress. On one side lies the old harbour with its quaint fishing boats gently swaying in sync with the ebb and flow of tide. Its weathered buildings exude a sense of history that seems to whisper stories from generations past. In striking juxtaposition stands the new harbour - a testament to modernity rising against an ancient backdrop. Here, sleek yachts proudly display their elegance as they bob gracefully on azure waters. The contemporary architecture harmoniously blends with its surroundings while adding a touch of sophistication to this vibrant coastal landscape. Beyond these bustling harbours lies Torquay itself; an urban oasis framed by rolling hills and sparkling sea. From this vantage point high above ground level, we can appreciate how seamlessly nature intertwines with human existence in this idyllic setting. Preserved within this print is not just a moment frozen in time but also a reflection of Torquay's enduring allure throughout history. It serves as a reminder that even amidst change, some places retain their timeless beauty while embracing progress – forever capturing hearts like ours
