EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the charm and allure of Plymouth Pier in Devon, as it stood in the late 19th century. Taken on the 5th of July, 1893, the image presents a bustling scene of leisure and recreation by the coast. The pier, built in 1884 by E Birch, stretches out into the English Channel, measuring only 465 feet long. Its Victorian elegance is on full display, with ornate railings, decorative lamp posts, and a quaint pavilion at the end. The pier's advertisements, a common sight during this era, add an intriguing layer to the scene. Sunlight Soap, a popular household item, proudly proclaims its ability to "cleanse and brighten" in bold letters. Cocoa and Beechams tablets, offering warmth and relief, are also advertised. A local dyeing works, likely a significant industry in the area, is also represented. The pier's vibrant atmosphere is further accentuated by the presence of a boat in the foreground, adding a sense of connection to the sea. People can be seen strolling along the pier, enjoying the sunshine and the salty breeze. The photograph serves as a captivating reminder of a bygone era, when the simple pleasures of a day at the pier brought joy to countless families. Unfortunately, this pier, like many others, did not withstand the test of time. It was damaged during enemy action in 1941 and was eventually demolished in 1953. Today, the memory of Plymouth Pier lives on through photographs like this one, allowing us to appreciate its history and charm.
