EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1901, showcases the picturesque seaside scene of The Drive in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England. The Drive, a popular promenade, is adorned with lush greenery and lined with elegant Victorian buildings, creating an idyllic setting for visitors. In the foreground, two stunning horse-drawn omnibuses, or charabancs, are parked, ready to transport tourists along the coastline. The horses, harnessed and hitched to the vehicles, appear calm and content, adding to the serene atmosphere. The seafront, with its vast expanse of sandy beach and the sparkling North Sea, stretches out in the background. The presence of lifeboats moored nearby is a reminder of the importance of water safety in this coastal town. The quaint carts and wagons, which can be seen in the distance, further add to the charm of this early 1900s scene. The Drive was a popular destination for tourists during this era, offering a respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The horse-drawn omnibuses provided an affordable and convenient means of transportation, allowing visitors to explore the town and its surroundings. The photograph captures a moment in time, offering a glimpse into the past and the simpler pleasures of a bygone era.
