EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lantern slide captures the historic New Hall in the Victoria Memorial Block, Royal Sailors Rest in Devonport. The image showcases the early Edwardian architecture of this naval establishment, which served as a home for sailors in the Royal Navy. Built during the Victorian era, New Hall exudes grandeur and elegance with its intricate detailing and imposing structure. The photograph transports us back to a time when Agnes Weston, known as "Aggie", founded this institution to provide support and accommodation for sailors stationed in Portsmouth. The Royal Sailors Rest was not just a place to stay but also a sanctuary where seafarers could find comfort and solace amidst their demanding duties at sea. The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection has beautifully captured the essence of this historical landmark, showcasing its significance in British maritime history. The black-and-white tones add a nostalgic touch to the image, evoking memories of a bygone era when naval traditions were upheld with pride and honor. As we gaze upon this stunning print, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who served in the Royal Navy and found respite within these walls. It stands as a testament to their dedication and commitment to protecting our shores.
