EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Totquay New Harbour EAW007583" takes us back in time to the picturesque town of Torquay, Devon in 1947. The aerial perspective allows us to appreciate the full beauty of the new harbour that was constructed during this era. The scene is filled with a sense of tranquility as we observe boats gently bobbing on the calm waters, creating mesmerizing reflections under the soft sunlight. The harbor's layout is meticulously captured, showcasing its well-organized docks and piers that stretch out into the sea. Torquay itself appears quaint and charming, with rows of houses lining the streets leading up to the waterfront. The architecture reflects a mix of traditional English style buildings alongside more modern structures that were emerging at this time. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that Torquay's new harbor played an integral role in connecting this coastal community with maritime trade and leisure activities. It served as a hub for fishing vessels, pleasure boats, and perhaps even larger ships carrying goods from distant lands. Preserved by Historic England Archive, this photograph offers us not only a glimpse into Torquay's past but also serves as a reminder of how our towns have evolved over time while still retaining their unique charm and character.
