EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the scenic Dartmouth Ferry, also known as the Dartmouth-Kingswear Floating Bridge, in operation during the 1920s. The image showcases the timeless beauty of the Dart estuary in Devon, England, with the picturesque towns of Dartmouth and Kingswear nestled on either side. The ferry, a vehicular cable ferry, plays a vital role in connecting the two towns, allowing for the seamless transport of people and goods across the river. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, with horse-drawn carts making their way onto the ferry, adding to the rustic charm of the scene. The boats and fishing vessels anchored in the river add to the serene atmosphere, creating a perfect tableau of rural life in the 1920s. The cable ferry, a marvel of engineering, can be seen suspended above the water, its cables taut and ready to transport the next load of passengers and vehicles. The Dartmouth Ferry, with its rich history and picturesque setting, has been a cherished part of the local community for generations. This photograph not only serves as a testament to the enduring connection between the towns of Dartmouth and Kingswear but also offers a glimpse into the simpler, more rural way of life that once defined this beautiful corner of Devon.
