EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 1900s with this vintage lantern slide capturing a scene of people collecting gravel from West Bay, Bridport. The image transports us to a bygone era, where seaside activities were simple yet essential for daily life.
In this snapshot of history, we see individuals diligently gathering gravel along the shores of West Bay. The rugged coastline of Dorset provides a picturesque backdrop as men and women work together under the Victorian and Edwardian sun.
The print exudes an old-world charm, reminding us of a time when manual labor was commonplace and communities relied on local resources for their livelihood. Each pebble collected tells a story of hard work and perseverance in an era before modern machinery dominated such tasks.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a simpler time when the sound of waves crashing against the shore provided solace and tranquility. The nostalgia evoked by this photograph is palpable, offering a glimpse into the past that is both fascinating and humbling.
The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection has preserved this piece of history for future generations to appreciate. It serves as a reminder of our connection to the land and sea, highlighting the beauty found in everyday tasks such as collecting gravel from West Bay, Bridport in the early 1900s.
