EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the hustle and bustle of The Fish Market in Folkestone, Kent, comes to life as the sun begins to set and the day's trade winds down. The scene is atmospheric and historic, with the narrow, cobblestone street lined with wooden shops and the sound of seagulls squawking in the background. Late in the afternoon, the fishermen of Folkestone have returned from their day at sea, their nets and crates in tow. Some are still mending their nets, while others are cleaning and sorting their catch. The air is filled with the pungent smell of fish and the salty breeze from the English Channel. Despite the fading light, the market remains a hive of activity. The shopkeepers are busy packing up their wares for the day, while customers browse the fresh catches and haggle over prices. The wooden boards that make up the stalls are worn and weathered, a testament to the market's long and storied history. The mood is one of quiet determination, as the fishermen and traders prepare for another day at sea. The setting sun casts a warm glow over the scene, bathing the market in a soft, golden light. This photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of a tradition that has been passed down through generations in Folkestone's historic fishing community. The Fish Market in Folkestone has been a vital part of the town's identity for centuries, and this photograph offers a glimpse into its rich history and the daily life of its inhabitants. It is a reminder of the importance of the sea and the fishing industry to the people of Kent, and a testament to the resilience and hard work of those who make their living from the sea.
