EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Traditional Shrimp Fisherman at Work: Bob Dickinson in Flookborough, Morecambe Bay, 1993" 2. Description: This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the essence of traditional shrimp fishing in the English countryside. Taken in 1993, the image features Bob Dickinson, a local shrimp fisherman from Flookborough in Morecambe Bay, Cumbria. With the tide receding, Dickinson rides his Nuffield tractor through the shallow waters of the bay, leaving a trail of wet sands behind. The tractor, an essential tool for navigating the mudflats, is laden with fishing equipment, ready to be used for catching shrimps. The vast expanse of the bay stretches out behind him, with its ever-changing tide revealing the rich, fertile grounds for this ancient and time-honored occupation. 3. Context: Morecambe Bay, located in the English county of Cumbria, has been a significant source of shrimps and other shellfish for centuries. The bay's unique tidal conditions create an ideal environment for these crustaceans, making it a popular destination for both commercial and traditional fishermen. In the 1990s, the practice of shrimping remained an integral part of the local culture and economy, with many families relying on the industry for their livelihoods. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of a dedicated shrimp fisherman, as he braves the elements and the ever-changing tides to provide food for his community. 4.
