EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken in the 1990s, we find two sisters, Annie James and Kath Evans, gracefully navigating the passenger ferry that glides across the River Severn at Hampton Loade in Shropshire. With a combined age of 148 years, the sisters had been operating the ferry for over three decades, a testament to their dedication and the deep connection they share with the historic waterway. The ferry, which has been in operation since the late 18th century, is propelled by the river current pushing against the rudder, creating a sense of harmony between the sisters, the boat, and the natural elements. Suspended between the banks of the river, the ferry appears to be suspended in time, as the sisters' reactions and the cable-and-pulley system remain unchanged by the passing decades. The image captures a moment of tranquility and tradition, as the sisters expertly guide the boat, their faces reflecting a sense of calm and familiarity with the task at hand. The River Severn, with its gentle current and picturesque surroundings, provides a serene backdrop to their daily routine. Despite the passage of time and the ever-changing world around them, the sisters and their ferry continue to be a cherished part of the local community, offering a unique and authentic experience to travelers crossing the river. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring bond between people and their traditions, as well as the beauty and timeless allure of the natural world.
