EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative early 20th century photograph captures the bustling scene at The New Front in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, a popular coastal resort town in England. The New Front, also known as the New Pier or New Jetty, was a prominent landmark and a hub of activity for visitors seeking leisure and relaxation by the sea. In the foreground, a crowd of people, dressed in their Sunday best, stroll along the promenade, enjoying the sunny day and the salty sea breeze. Children play and laugh, while couples hold hands and take in the picturesque views. The vibrant shops and buildings lining the promenade add to the lively atmosphere, with colorful sunblinds hanging outside, shielding the interiors from the sun. The New Front was renowned for its shops, which offered a variety of goods, from souvenirs and seaside trinkets to sweets and ice cream. The pier itself extended out into the North Sea, providing a popular destination for fishing and boat trips. The New Front was a symbol of the British seaside holiday tradition, a time when families and friends would gather to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and reconnect with each other and the natural beauty of the coast. This photograph captures the essence of that tradition, offering a glimpse into a bygone era and a reminder of the enduring appeal of the seaside.
