EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque town of Bideford, located in Devon, England. The image showcases the iconic Bideford Bridge gracefully spanning over the tranquil River Torridge, while offering a glimpse into the bustling maritime activities of this historic port. The aerial perspective allows us to appreciate the stunning natural beauty that surrounds Bideford. Lush greenery lines the riverbanks and frames Bideford Quay, an enchanting tree-lined area situated on the right side of the bridge. This quaint quay serves as a hub for maritime trade and transport, connecting this charming town with distant shores. Captured by Aerofilms Ltd in August 1932, this photograph is a testament to their exceptional skill in capturing breathtaking views from above. It offers a unique insight into how Bideford looked during that era – its architectural heritage blending harmoniously with its natural surroundings. Preserved within Historic England Archive, this print not only serves as a visual delight but also acts as an invaluable historical record. It transports us back to a time when ships sailed along these waters and trade flourished at its busy harbor. As we admire this remarkable image captured almost nine decades ago, we are reminded of how much has changed yet how much remains timeless about beautiful places like Bideford.
