EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily life of a cockle picker outside her humble cottage near Ulverston, Lancashire, around the turn of the twentieth century. The old woman, dressed in long waders and a shawl, holds a large basket brimming with freshly picked cockles, her weathered hands testifying to a lifetime spent working the shores. The scene is set against the backdrop of a simple wooden bench, upon which rests another basket filled with discarded cockle shells and drying nets. The serene and peaceful atmosphere of this rural setting belies the hard labor and dedication required to earn a living from the sea. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the rhythms of nature and the simple pleasures of daily life shaped the lives of those who lived and worked along the Lancashire coast.
