EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lantern slide captures a picturesque scene from the Victorian period in Norwich, as wherries set sail for the Broads. These traditional Norfolk boats were a common sight on the waterways during this time, transporting goods and passengers through the serene landscape of East Anglia.
The image exudes a sense of nostalgia, with its sepia tones and old-fashioned charm. The wherries themselves are beautifully crafted vessels, their sleek lines cutting through the water with grace and elegance. Each boat is manned by skilled sailors who expertly navigate the winding rivers and broads of this unique region.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from another era, we can almost hear the gentle lapping of water against wood, feel the cool breeze on our faces, and smell the earthy scent of mudflats and reeds. It's a moment frozen in time, capturing a simpler way of life when travel was slower but more connected to nature.
This photograph is not just a historical document; it's a window into a bygone world where tradition met innovation on these ancient waterways. The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection has preserved this slice of history for us to enjoy today, reminding us of our rich maritime heritage and inspiring us to explore new horizons both near and far.
