EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the School Ferry in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, during the 1910s. The School Ferry was a vital mode of transportation for the children of Shrewsbury, connecting the western and eastern banks of the River Severn. The image showcases the simple yet sturdy design of the ferry, with its wooden hull and metal frame. The ferryman, dressed in a long coat and hat, stands at the helm, ready to navigate the vessel across the river. The riverside scene is bustling with activity. Children in their school uniforms, clutching their satchels, eagerly await their turn to board the ferry. Adults and carts laden with goods wait patiently on the jetty, while others stroll along the riverfront, enjoying the picturesque views of the river and the town. The School Ferry played an essential role in the daily lives of the Shrewsbury community, connecting the different parts of the town and facilitating the movement of people and goods. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a simpler era when the School Ferry was an integral part of the town's infrastructure and daily routine. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and character of Shrewsbury, a town steeped in history and natural beauty. It is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the community, who relied on the School Ferry to bring them together, despite the challenges of the river and the changing seasons.
