EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Oyster Day, an annual tradition celebrated in Britain on 25th July, also known as St. James's Day. The date marks the beginning of the oyster season, a time when the waters are warm enough for the shellfish to be harvested. In this image, taken in 1851, children are seen building intricate oyster shell grottoes along the shoreline. Dressed in their Sunday best, they carefully arrange the shells to create small, artistic structures, their faces filled with concentration and excitement. The scene is one of community and connection to the natural world, as people came together to mark the start of this important season. The use of oyster shells for construction was a long-standing custom, with the structures serving as both decorative installations and functional barriers to protect the oyster beds from predators. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing a unique and charming aspect of British coastal culture.
