EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and experience the thrill of the Water Chute at Weston-super-Mare Pier in the early 1900s! This photograph, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to an era of excitement and adventure. The Edwardian and Victorian eras were known for their innovative amusements, and the Water Chute was no exception. Located on the iconic Weston-super-Mare Pier, this vintage attraction drew in visitors from far and wide. The image showcases the simple yet intriguing design of the Water Chute, which consisted of a tall tower with a slide leading to a large basin filled with water. As the brave souls of the time climbed the tower stairs, their hearts pounded with anticipation. Once they reached the top, they would take a seat in the wooden boat, securely fastened by ropes, and plunge down the slide, feeling the rush of water against their bodies. The splash and laughter that followed were a testament to the joy and exhilaration this ride brought to all who dared to take the plunge. The elegantly dressed onlookers in the photograph add to the charm of the scene, as they watch the riders with a mixture of amusement and admiration. The pier, with its ornate decorations and colorful pavilions, serves as the perfect backdrop for this nostalgic moment in time. This photograph is a precious reminder of the simpler pleasures that once brought joy to generations. The Water Chute at Weston-super-Mare Pier may no longer exist, but its legacy lives on through captivating images like this one, which allow us to relive the past and appreciate the rich history of seaside entertainment.
