The photograph, held in the esteemed collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the historical landscape and the daily lives of its inhabitants. The picture portrays a bustling scene along the banks of the River Severn, with the iconic Gloucester Cathedral standing proudly in the background. Boats filled with goods and people dot the water, while the quayside teems with activity. Men and women, dressed in the fashion of the late 18th century, can be seen loading and unloading merchandise, while children play nearby. The scene is a testament to the thriving commercial activity that once characterized Gloucester, a city strategically located at the confluence of several major waterways.
