EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 1900s and experience the charm of Salcombe Quay and Custom House in Devon, as captured in this beautiful photograph from The John Barrett Collection. The image, believed to have been taken around 1904, presents a tranquil and idyllic scene of the picturesque quay nestled along the shores of the South Devon coast. The Custom House, a striking red-brick building with white trim, stands proudly at the heart of the scene. It was a symbol of the area's rich maritime history, serving as the port's customs and excise office during the Edwardian era. The building's grandeur reflects the prosperity and importance of Salcombe's thriving fishing industry and trade during this time. Surrounding the Custom House are a collection of fair-weather boats, their vibrant colors and intricate designs adding to the scene's visual appeal. The boats, with their masts and rigging, are a testament to the region's seafaring heritage and the hardworking men who made their living from the sea. The water, calm and clear, reflects the blue sky and the surrounding landscape, creating a mirror-like effect that adds to the serene atmosphere. The gentle ripples on the water's surface, caused by the occasional passing boat or the ebb and flow of the tide, add a sense of movement and life to the otherwise still scene. Salcombe Quay and Custom House, Devon, circa 1904, is a captivating glimpse into the past, offering a window into a bygone era and a reminder of the beauty and history that can be found along the West Country coast.
