EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of tradition and sisterly bond as it showcases Annie James, 76, and Kath Evans, 72, on their beloved River Severn ferry. The sisters have dedicated over three decades to operating this unique passenger ferry in Hampton Loade, Shropshire. In 1990 when this image was first published in The Times, they were already seasoned experts in navigating the river's currents using only a rudder for propulsion. The photograph transports us back to the enchanting era of the 90s with its nostalgic charm. It depicts a suspended cable pulley system that allows the boat to glide effortlessly across the river's expanse. As we gaze at Annie and Kath gracefully steering their vessel through these tranquil waters, we can almost feel ourselves being transported alongside them. Their weathered faces tell tales of resilience and unwavering dedication to their craft. Their smiles reflect not only pride but also an unbreakable sisterly bond forged through years spent side by side on this very ferry. It is heartwarming to know that even today, many years after this photograph was taken, this cherished service continues to operate under their watchful eyes. This image serves as a testament not just to two remarkable women who have defied gender norms but also as a reminder of how timeless traditions can withstand the test of time.
