EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1900, showcases the picturesque Overstrand Village in Cromer, located on the beautiful East Coast of England. The image offers a breathtaking view towards the village church, with the tranquil canal running along the right-hand side. The church, with its distinctive tower and steeple, stands proudly against the backdrop of the clear blue sky, while the trees lining the canal add a touch of greenery to the scene. Overstrand Village, a charming coastal community, was a popular destination for visitors during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The village's unique character is evident in this photograph, with its quaint cottages, narrow lanes, and peaceful waterways. The lantern slide, part of the Boswell Collection, Box 145, provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the history and beauty of this idyllic coastal village. The calm waters of the canal reflect the clear blue sky, creating a mirror-like effect that adds to the serene atmosphere of the scene. The village's name, Overstrand, is derived from the Old English words "ofer" meaning "over" and "strand" meaning "beach," reflecting its location on the clifftop above the sea. The village's proximity to the coast is evident in the photograph, with the vast expanse of the sea visible in the distance. This photograph is a testament to the enduring charm of Overstrand Village and the East Coast of England, inviting us to take a moment to appreciate the simple pleasures of a bygone era.
