EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to December 1945 in England. The image captures a group of young boys and girls who eagerly gather around a wharf at Yarmouth, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. These youngsters represent the prospective fishermen of England, as they diligently string their morning "fry" onto fishing nets. Their catch consists of herring that will not be destined for Billingsgate Market but instead taken back home to Mother. It is heartwarming to witness these children actively participating in providing food for their families during a time when resources were scarce. The scene exudes an atmosphere of camaraderie and determination as the children work together, showcasing their resilience even amidst post-war hardships. Their youthful energy is palpable against the backdrop of the chilly winter morning. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of simpler times when communities relied on one another for sustenance and survival. It encapsulates the spirit of resourcefulness ingrained within generations past - where every opportunity was seized upon to contribute towards family well-being. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate the innocence and strength embodied by these young fishermen-to-be; forever etched into history through this remarkable image captured over seven decades ago.
