EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting photographic party scene set against the picturesque backdrop of Blackpool Bridge in Slebech, Pembrokeshire, West Wales. Built around 1825, the Grade II listed, single span bridge spans the tranquil River Cleddau and was once the private property of the de Rutzen family, who owned Slebech Park at the time. The Victorian and Edwardian era gentry are seen gathered on the bridge, dressed in their finest attire, as they engage in a lively photographic session. The women don elegant hats and dresses, while the men sport top hats and suits, adding an air of sophistication and class to the occasion. The bridge, affectionately known as Blackpool Bridge, is a testament to the rich history of this region. Its upper, middle, and lower arches, made of stone, provide a striking contrast against the clear blue sky. The bridge's name, "Black Pool," is believed to have originated from the dark, deep pool of water that forms beneath it. As the group gathers around the tripod, a camera is poised to capture the moment. The partygoers seem to be in high spirits, their laughter and chatter echoing through the air. The scene is a charming reminder of a bygone era, when life moved at a slower pace, and social gatherings were cherished moments in time. This photographic party at Slebech Bridge is a glimpse into the past, a time when the landed gentry of Pembrokeshire, Wales, celebrated life's simple pleasures and documented their memories for future generations to enjoy.
