Family on a holiday outing, Dunwich, Suffolk
Family (Arthur, Harold, Lucy, Albert and Violet Auerbach) on a holiday outing to the village of Dunwich, Suffolk, 30 August 1908. The building is All Saints Church, abandoned in the 1750s. By this time coastal erosion meant that the building was on the cliff edge: the tower fell in 1922.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures the spirit of a family outing in the quaint village of Dunwich, Suffolk, England, during the summer of 1908. The Auerbach family, consisting of Arthur, Harold, Lucy, Albert, and Violet, are seen dressed in their Edwardian finery, enjoying a day by the sea. The children, Harold and Violet, wear straw boaters and collars, while their older siblings, Albert and Lucy, don more formal attire. The backdrop to their joyous scene is the picturesque ruins of All Saints Church, which had been abandoned due to coastal erosion. By this time, the building was precariously perched on the cliff edge, with the tower falling just four years later in 1922. The medieval church, once a significant landmark in the village, now stood as a reminder of the area's rich history and the relentless passage of time. The family's visit to Dunwich must have been a memorable one, as they posed for this photograph amidst the ancient ruins. The serene expression on their faces and the beautiful coastal setting evoke a sense of peace and tranquility, making this image a treasured piece of history that transports us back to a simpler time.
