Crossing the Sands of Lindisfarne: A Pilgrimage Through Time This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, as a horse and cart make their way across the sands of Lindisfarne during a low tide in the 1920s. The tranquil scene is set against the backdrop of the Northumberland coastline, with the rugged cliffs and the distant horizon adding to the sense of isolation and otherworldliness. Lindisfarne, also known as Holy Island, has been a place of pilgrimage for centuries, drawing visitors from far and wide to its sacred shores. The tidal causeway, which connects the island to the mainland, is only passable on foot or by vehicle during low tide. In this photograph, we see the importance of local transportation services, as evidenced by the advertisement for R. Bell, of Lindisfarne, who offered motors and conveyances for hire, as well as telegrams and the number one telephone. The photograph also reveals the precautions taken by those crossing the sands. A refuge box, designed to provide shelter during the treacherous tidal surges, can be seen on the left, while markers for walkers guide the way. The image serves as a reminder of the power of the tides and the importance of respecting the natural world. This photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the experiences of those making the pilgrimage to Lindisfarne in the 1920s. It is a poignant reminder of the enduring allure of this sacred island and the rich history that surrounds it.
