EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of South Bridge in Great Yarmouth, captured in the early 1900s. This vintage photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to an era of horse-drawn carriages, Victorian and Edwardian elegance, and the bustling activity of a thriving port town. South Bridge, a historic landmark in Great Yarmouth, is seen here adorned with intricate ironwork and gas lamps, casting a warm glow over the cobblestone streets below. The bridge, which spans the River Yare, was a vital connection between the Old Town and the New Town, allowing for the easy flow of people and goods. In the foreground, a horse-drawn carriage makes its way across the bridge, its passengers likely on their way to the market or a day at the seaside. The Liverpool and Great Eastern Railway station, a major transportation hub, can be seen in the background, with trains bringing travelers from far and wide to this bustling coastal town. The lantern slide, an early form of photographic projection, adds to the nostalgic charm of this image. The intricate details of the bridge, the horse and carriage, and the people in period attire are all beautifully preserved, offering a glimpse into the past that is both enchanting and evocative. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and vibrant character of Great Yarmouth, a town that has long been a hub of commerce and culture on the East Anglian coast. Whether you're a local historian, a fan of vintage photography, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the past, this image of South Bridge in the early 1900s is sure to captivate and inspire.
