EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1920s, showcases a serene moment on the picturesque River Dart in Devon. The view is captured from the charming village of Kingswear, looking across the water to the historic town of Dartmouth. At the heart of the scene is the iconic Mew, a steam-powered ferry that once plied the waters between Kingswear and Dartmouth for the Great Western Railway (GWR). The Mew, with its distinctive funnel and paddle wheels, was a familiar sight on the river from 1908 until its retirement in 1954. The Mew's vintage appearance is further enhanced by the presence of a GWR Express Cartage lorry, which is docked at the pier behind the ferry. The lorry, with its wooden body and large tyres, adds to the nostalgic atmosphere of this bygone era. The River Dart, with its tranquil waters and lush green banks, reflects the beauty of the surrounding countryside. The Mew, with its steam plume rising into the sky, adds a sense of industry and connection to the scene. This photograph is a testament to the rich maritime and railway history of the area and a reminder of a time when travel was a more leisurely and romantic experience.
