EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in 1914, captures the picturesque coastal scene of Teignmouth and Shaldon in Devon, England. The quaint fishing village of Shaldon, with its red-roofed houses and narrow streets, is nestled at the mouth of the Teign Estuary, opposite the bustling seaside town of Teignmouth. The image reveals a sense of tranquility and simplicity, with fishermen preparing their nets and boats at the water's edge, and children playing on the beach. The Teign estuary is dotted with small boats and sailing vessels, while in the distance, the Teignmouth pier stretches out into the sea, providing a popular destination for visitors. At the time this photograph was taken, the world was on the brink of major upheaval. The First World War was just a year away, and the idyllic scene depicted here would soon be disrupted by the events of the war. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when life was simpler, and the natural beauty of the coast was a source of inspiration and enjoyment for the local community. The photograph also highlights the rich maritime history of Teignmouth and Shaldon. Both towns have a long tradition of fishing and shipbuilding, and the estuary has been an important trading route for centuries. The photograph captures the essence of this maritime heritage, with the boats and nets providing a tangible link to the past. Overall, this photograph is a beautiful and evocative snapshot of life in Teignmouth and Shaldon in 1914. It invites us to reflect on the past, and to appreciate the natural beauty and history of this charming corner of Devon.
