EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Torquay Pier and Harbour, as it appeared in the early 1900s. This vintage photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to a bygone era of seaside leisure and relaxation. The Pier, adorned with its ornate Victorian and Edwardian architecture, stretches out into the English Channel, inviting visitors to enjoy the fresh sea air and picturesque views. The pier's lantern, a beacon of light, guides ships safely into the harbour, where they moor alongside the colorful boats and yachts. The harbour bustles with activity, as fishermen unload their catch and merchants sell their wares to eager tourists. The quaint shops and cafes along the waterfront offer respite from the sun and sea breeze, providing a welcome retreat for those seeking a moment of rest. The scene is a testament to the charm and allure of Torquay during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, a time when the seaside town was a popular destination for those seeking relaxation and recreation. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and history of Torquay and its rich maritime heritage. The intricate details of the pier, the boats, and the buildings are beautifully captured in this lantern slide, inviting us to explore the image further and imagine the stories that unfolded on this bustling waterfront.
