EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a simpler time and the rich history of the northern coast of England. Taken in the early 1930s, the image shows two young boys eagerly examining crabs at an old lady's stall in the fishing village of Cullercoats, located on the north east coast of England. The boys, dressed in woolen jumpers and caps, are deeply engaged in the trading process, their expressions filled with excitement and anticipation. The old lady, with her worn apron and wrinkled face, looks on with a knowing smile, her hands calloused from years of working at the stall. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, with the cobblestone street and rustic wooden stall adding to the historical charm. The crabs, freshly caught from the North Sea, are displayed in baskets, their bright red shells contrasting against the gray stone and damp earth. The boys' purchase is a small yet significant moment in their young lives, a tradition passed down through generations in this coastal community. The photograph not only provides a glimpse into the past but also highlights the close connection between the people of Cullercoats and the sea. The working class community thrived on the fishing industry, with the daily catch providing sustenance and livelihood for many families. This image is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the community, as well as the enduring bond between the children and the sea that continues to define Cullercoats to this day.
