EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back to the year 1825, capturing a poignant moment in history at Holyhead Pier. The scene depicts Irish farm labourers eagerly jostling to board the Dublin packet as they prepare to return home after a season of harvest work in England.
The image is alive with energy and emotion as we witness the crowds of labourers clamoring for a spot on the steamer that will take them back to Ireland. Each face tells a story of hard work, sacrifice, and longing for home.
Through this snapshot in time, we are reminded of the interconnectedness between Ireland and England during this period - where thousands of Irish workers would travel across the sea seeking employment opportunities in English fields. The pier becomes a symbol of both departure and reunion, marking the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.
Mary Evans Prints Online has captured not just an event but a piece of living history with this powerful image. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination of those who sought better opportunities far from their homeland, leaving behind memories etched into the wooden planks of Holyhead Pier.
