EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken by Aerofilms Ltd in August 1931, captures a moment in time at Victoria Pier in Kingston upon Hull. The image showcases the bustling waterfront scene with Nelson Street in the foreground, lined with Victorian buildings and a crowd of people, and a paddle steamer gracefully moored at the pier. Paddle steamers played a significant role in the maritime history of Hull, providing essential ferry services across the Humber Estuary to New Holland. The use of paddle steamers for transportation on the Humber dates back to the late 18th century, and they continued to be a popular mode of travel well into the 20th century. The image presents a snapshot of daily life in Kingston upon Hull during the early 1930s. The people in the photograph, dressed in fashionable attire of the time, add to the sense of nostalgia and charm. The presence of the paddle steamer, with its distinctive paddle wheels churning the water, highlights the importance of the river as a vital transportation hub for the community. This photograph is a testament to the rich maritime heritage of Kingston upon Hull and the essential role that ferry services played in connecting the city to its neighboring communities. Today, the Victoria Pier and Nelson Street remain popular tourist destinations, offering visitors a glimpse into the city's fascinating past.
