EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of traditional shrimp fishing in Flookborough, Morecambe Bay, Cumbria, in the 1990s. Bob Dickinson, a local shrimp fisherman, holds a handful of freshly cooked and freshly caught Morecambe Bay brown shrimps, a delicacy renowned for its unique flavor and texture. The image transports us back to the nineties, a time when the tide was still an integral part of people's livelihoods in this coastal community. Morecambe Bay, located in the English county of Cumbria, is known for its vast expanse of mudflats and sandbanks, which provide an ideal environment for brown shrimps to thrive. The bay's tidal waters have been the source of livelihood for generations of fishermen, including Bob Dickinson. The photograph shows Bob, with his weathered face and calloused hands, standing on the shore, surrounded by the sands and the sea. The tide recedes in the background, revealing the mudflats and the vast expanse of the bay. The smoke from the cooking shrimps rises in the air, mingling with the sea mist and the salty breeze. Bob's expression is one of contentment and satisfaction, a testament to the pride and joy he derives from his work. The handful of shrimps in his hand is a symbol of his hard work and dedication, a reminder of the connection between the sea, the land, and the people who depend on it for their livelihoods. This photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when the rhythms of nature and the tides of the bay still held sway over the lives of the people who lived and worked in Flookborough. It is a reminder of the simple pleasures of life, the joy of a freshly cooked meal, and the enduring bond between the sea and the people who depend on it.
