EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures the innocence and joy of seven young children as they play together in a rowing boat on the shores of Gorleston-on-Sea during the 1910s. Dressed in their best summer clothing, the siblings and friends laugh and splash each other as they navigate the small boat through the shallow waters. The beach at Gorleston-on-Sea, located in Norfolk on the east coast of England, was a popular seaside resort during this time, offering visitors a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The children's simple pleasures are on full display in this candid image. They are armed with nothing more than a bucket and spade, the quintessential tools of seaside play, and the grassy bank behind them serves as a backdrop for their carefree antics. The rowing boat, which appears to have been borrowed from the nearby hut, adds a sense of adventure to their day at the beach. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life was simpler and the joys of childhood were found in the smallest of things. It also serves as a reminder of the enduring bond between siblings and friends, and the memories that are created through shared experiences.
