EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene of the bloater industry in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, around 1911. The town's rich connection to the fishing trade dates back to ancient times, with the offshore fishing grounds renowned even in Roman times. The sandbank that would eventually form the town itself was a popular fishing spot for English and continental fishermen. In this image, we see a vast array of barrels, each one filled with bloaters, a type of small herring that was a staple food source for the local population and beyond. The bloater industry was at its peak during this period, with Great Yarmouth being one of the most important fishing ports in England. The barrels were used to preserve the fish, allowing them to be transported and sold in other parts of the country and even abroad. The coastal town of Great Yarmouth is shown in all its glory, with the fishing boats and nets visible in the background. The atmosphere is bustling and industrious, with men working together to unload the barrels from the boats and stack them in the yard. The scene is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the local fishing community, who played a crucial role in the town's economy and history. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique insight into the bloater industry and the important role it played in the coastal town of Great Yarmouth during the early 20th century.
