EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of North Shields Fish Market in the early 1900s, as captured by The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. Located on the north bank of the River Tyne in North East England, North Shields was once a thriving fishing port and a hub of activity for local fishermen and their families. In this vintage photograph, we see a bustling scene of fishermen and fishwives gathered around the quay, sorting through nets filled with freshly caught herring. The air is thick with the salty scent of the sea and the sound of seagulls squawking overhead. The fishermen, dressed in their traditional gear, work diligently to unload their boats, while the fishwives expertly scale and clean the fish, ready for sale. The boats in the background, with their distinctive red and white stripes, are a testament to the region's rich maritime history. The quay, with its cobblestones and old dock buildings, adds to the sense of nostalgia and bygone era. This photograph is a beautiful snapshot of life in North Shields during the Victorian and Edwardian periods, showcasing the hard work, community, and resilience of the local fishing industry. It's a reminder of a time when the sea provided not only sustenance but also a livelihood for generations of families in this historic port town.
