EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Staithes Beck BB057002" transports us back to the early 20th century in Loftus, Redcar and Cleveland. The lens of renowned photographer Edwin Dockree captures a picturesque scene along the coastal village's beck. Standing proudly by a moored rowing boat is an unidentified man, his presence adding a touch of human connection amidst the serene maritime setting. The image exudes tranquility as Staithes Beck gently flows through the frame, reflecting the surrounding buildings and boats with remarkable clarity. The composition showcases both natural beauty and man-made elements harmoniously coexisting in this fishing community. The rowing boat itself appears weathered yet sturdy, hinting at its frequent use for local fishermen venturing out into the open sea. Dockree's masterful craftsmanship shines through in every detail - from the play of light on water to the intricate textures captured on film. This photograph serves as a time capsule, transporting viewers to an era when life was simpler but no less challenging for those relying on coastal industries like fishing. As we gaze upon this evocative snapshot from history, let us appreciate not only Dockree's artistic prowess but also pay homage to all those who have contributed to shaping our coastal communities over generations.
