East Sussex Nostalgia Sea Side Sussex Trade Urban Victorian
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling seaside town of Hastings on a crisp November day in 1890. The image showcases an array of fishing boats, their weathered wooden frames standing tall against the backdrop of the vast sea. With their nets hauled up onto the beach, it is evident that these hardworking fishermen have returned from a long day at sea. The scene exudes a sense of nostalgia, transporting us to a bygone era when fishing was not only an occupation but also a way of life for coastal communities like Hastings. The Victorian influence is palpable as we observe the intricately designed boats and the men who tirelessly worked them. The urban landscape surrounding this picturesque coastline adds another layer to this historic snapshot. We can catch glimpses of buildings and structures that were integral parts of daily life during that time period. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are reminded of the rich maritime heritage that shaped East Sussex. It serves as a testament to both human resilience and our deep connection with nature's bounties. Thanks to West Sussex County Council's General Photographic Collection, this extraordinary piece allows us to step into history and appreciate the trade and traditions that once thrived along England's southern coastlines.
