EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past of Filey, a quaint fishing village located in the Yorkshire coast of England. The image portrays a dedicated fisherman in the early 1900s, meticulously weaving a fishing net on the quayside. The scene is set against the backdrop of traditional wooden boats and the harbor, with the lantern-lit quay adding a warm, inviting glow. The fisherman, dressed in typical attire of the era, is intently focused on his task, his deft hands moving nimbly to create the intricate patterns of the net. His determined expression speaks volumes of the hard work and dedication required to provide for his family and community. The presence of a fishwife, also dressed in traditional clothing, adds to the authenticity of the scene. She observes the fisherman with a watchful eye, perhaps offering advice or assistance. The camaraderie between the fisherman and fishwife is a testament to the close-knit fishing community that thrived in Filey during this period. The lanterns illuminating the quay not only provide light for the fishermen but also create a romantic and atmospheric ambiance, reflecting off the calm waters of the harbor. The boats, some with their sails rolled up, are a reminder of the long hours spent at sea and the daily rhythm of life in this coastal community. This photograph is a beautiful snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the lives of the hardworking fishermen and their families in Filey during the Victorian and Edwardian periods. It is a poignant reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape this charming fishing village to this day.
