EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Boatyard, Norfolk in 1963. The lens of Hallam Ashley beautifully captures an interior view of F B Wilds Boatyard, Horning, Norfolk. Stepping into this scene feels like stepping into a different era altogether. The composition reveals two boats at different stages of construction, each representing the meticulous craftsmanship that went into their making. The boat on the left stands tall with its skeletal timber structure exposed, waiting patiently for its final touches before it can set sail upon the waters. In contrast, the boat on the right appears more complete and ready for adventure. Amidst these works-in-progress lies a parked moped, adding an unexpected element to this nautical setting. Its presence suggests that even amidst hard work and dedication, there is always room for leisurely pursuits or perhaps quick errands along the riverbanks. Hallam Ashley's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the physical beauty of these boats but also transports us to a time when traditional craftsmanship was still thriving. This photograph serves as a reminder of our rich maritime heritage and pays homage to those who dedicated their lives to building vessels that would brave unpredictable seas. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Historic England's collection, we are reminded of how photographs have an incredible ability to preserve history and transport us through time with just one glance.
