EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, hailing from the early 1900s, showcases a joyful moment during the Southend-on-Sea Fishing Festival in Essex. The image, taken circa 1911, depicts the triumphant winner of the competition, proudly holding aloft a magnificent urn or trophy, as he offers a refreshing cup of tea to a delighted lady competitor. The coastal resort of Southend-on-Sea, with its iconic pier stretching out into the North Sea, forms the idyllic backdrop to this heartwarming scene. The winner, dressed in fishing attire and a broad smile, exudes a sense of accomplishment and camaraderie, as he gracefully balances the urn on a wheeled trolley. The lady competitor, dressed in a fashionable hat and coat, appears elated as she accepts the offering, her own smile reflecting the jovial atmosphere of the day. The pier, teeming with activity and lined with onlookers, adds to the bustling energy of the festival. The Southend-on-Sea Fishing Festival, a cherished tradition along the Essex coast, brought together both men and women to celebrate their love for the sea and the bountiful catches it provided. This photograph, captured over a century ago, beautifully encapsulates the spirit of friendly competition, community, and the enduring connection between the people of Southend-on-Sea and the North Sea.
