EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting photograph of Foryd Bay, North Wales, taken in the early 1900s. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, with its Victorian and Edwardian charm and the simple pleasures of rural life. Fishing boats, dotted along the shoreline, reflect the livelihood of the local community. Nets and ropes are spread out to dry, while fishermen prepare their gear for the day's catch. The calm, turquoise waters of the bay mirror the clear blue sky above, creating a serene and idyllic scene. The quaint cottages and houses in the background add to the picturesque setting, with their slate roofs, whitewashed walls, and chimneys billowing smoke. The tall, slender chimneys were a common feature of the time, as coal was the primary source of heat and energy. The gentle curve of the bay and the distant hills in the background add depth and perspective to the photograph. The absence of modern structures and vehicles, such as cars or power lines, further emphasizes the vintage feel of the image. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the simple pleasures and close-knit communities that once thrived in North Wales. It invites us to imagine the stories of the people who lived and worked in Foryd Bay, and the daily routines that shaped their lives. A true treasure from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, this image is a must-have for anyone with an appreciation for history, vintage photography, or the natural beauty of Wales.
