EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the charm and character of Lowestoft, Suffolk in the early 1900s. The image features the High Light lighthouse standing proudly against the backdrop of a clear, blue sky. The lighthouse, with its distinctive red and white stripes, has been a guiding beacon for seafarers since its construction in 1620. In the foreground, a horse-drawn tram makes its way along the tramlines, weaving through the crowd of pedestrians on the pavement. The tram, a common mode of transport during the Edwardian era, adds a sense of bustling activity to the scene. The people, dressed in their Sunday best, are likely heading to the seaside for a day out, as indicated by the beach and coastline visible in the distance. The street is lined with buildings typical of the time, their facades adorned with intricate details and ornate designs. The road is narrow, with the tram tracks running down the middle, and the pavement is filled with the sounds and smells of the seaside. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of a day at the seaside were cherished. The combination of the historic lighthouse and the modern tram creates a unique juxtaposition, highlighting the progress and change that was taking place during this era.
