EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Southend-on-Sea Pier during the Victorian period, as captured by The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. The image transports us to an era of elegance and charm, with the ornate Victorian-style lanterns illuminating the pier against the backdrop of the twilight sky. The Thames Estuary, a popular destination for Victorian-era seaside excursions, can be seen in the distance, its tranquil waters reflecting the soft glow of the lanterns. Southend-on-Sea Pier, located in the English county of Essex, was a popular Victorian and Edwardian seaside resort. The pier, which stretches over a mile into the Thames Estuary, was first opened in 1830 and underwent significant expansion during the Victorian period, becoming a symbol of the era's love for grand architecture and engineering feats. The vintage photograph showcases the early days of the pier, with the old, wooden structure and the quaint boats moored along the riverbank adding to the nostalgic feel. The image also provides a glimpse into the fashion of the time, with ladies in their elegant Victorian gowns and gentlemen in their top hats and frock coats. This photograph is a treasure trove of history, transporting us to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of a day at the seaside were cherished. It is a reminder of the rich history and heritage that Southend-on-Sea Pier holds, making it a must-visit destination for anyone with an appreciation for the past.
