EDITORS COMMENTS
A Seaside Excursion: Embarking on the Walton Belle, Southwold, Suffolk, 1907 This evocative photograph captures the moment the Walton Belle paddle steamship sets off from the pier at Southwold, Suffolk, on a sunny September day in 1907. The Walton Belle, a popular paddle steamer that operated along the East Anglian coast, was a beloved mode of transport and recreation for locals and visitors alike during the Edwardian era. One of the passengers on board, excitedly waving and looking directly at the camera, is Arthur Auerbach. The photograph was taken by a family member, capturing a precious moment in their history. The Walton Belle's departure from the pier is marked by a trail of foamy water and a scattering of light reflecting off the calm, glistening sea. The scene exudes a sense of nostalgia and joy, as families and friends gathered for a day out by the coast. The pier, adorned with colorful pavilions and a chain connecting it to the shore, adds to the charm of the seaside holiday. The Walton Belle's paddle wheels churn the water, creating a gentle hum as the steamship sets sail, leaving the pier and the land behind. This photograph is a testament to the simple pleasures of a bygone era, when a day at the seaside was an affordable and enjoyable escape from daily life. The Walton Belle and the beautiful Southwold coastline continue to draw visitors to this day, offering a glimpse into the past and a chance to create new memories.
