EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of Shoreham-by-Sea, Sussex in the 1910s. The image showcases a serene moment at the waterfront, where the gentle lapping of the waves against the shore meets the hustle and bustle of daily life. In the foreground, a group of men are busy loading cargo onto a small boat, preparing for its journey across the English Channel. The boat, with its distinctive red sails, is a common sight in this coastal town, providing essential transport for people and goods between the mainland and the South Coast. In the background, the premises of G.F. Woolver, Carpenter and Joiner, can be seen. The sign, with its bold, black letters, stands out against the weathered, red-brick building. The carpenter and joiner's workshop was a vital part of the local community, providing essential repairs and construction services for the boats and buildings in the area. The sandy beach stretches out to the left of the photograph, dotted with sunbathers and children playing in the shallow waters. The Shoreham-by-Sea ferry, with its distinctive shape and tall funnel, can be seen in the distance, adding to the bustling scene of activity. This photograph is a snapshot of life in a bygone era, where the rhythms of the sea and the needs of the community were inextricably linked. The boats, the beach, and the buildings all played their part in the daily lives of the people of Shoreham-by-Sea, creating a unique and vibrant coastal community.
