EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the charming coastal town of Brixham in 1967. The image captures a nostalgic view of the quays before the construction of the new fish market, offering a glimpse into a bygone era. The old Upham shipyard stands proudly on the opposite shore, its weathered buildings telling tales of maritime history. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the bustling fishing industry that once thrived along these shores. Fishing boats dotting the harbor create an enchanting sight as they rest after their arduous journeys at sea. These vessels were not merely means of transport but symbols of livelihood for countless fishermen who relied on them to sustain their families. The photograph evokes a sense of unity and community spirit as locals worked together to support this vital industry. It serves as a reminder of how integral fishing was to Brixham's identity and economy during this period. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Mirrorpix's collection, we are transported back to an era where simplicity reigned supreme, capturing both the charm and hardships faced by those living in coastal towns like Brixham. This print is more than just an image; it encapsulates an entire chapter in British history - one that will forever be etched into our collective memory.
