EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of life along the River Tyne in the 1910s, as a ferry makes its way between Wallsend and Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The Ferry, located near Walkergate in Northumberland, England, was a vital mode of transportation for the local community, connecting the two shores of the river and providing access to essential services and opportunities. The image showcases the simple yet sturdy design of the ferry boat, with its wooden hull and tall, narrow smokestack. The boat appears to be powered by a steam engine, plumes of smoke billowing from the stack as it chugs along the water. The ferry is dwarfed by the towering industrial structures that line the riverbank, a testament to the bustling activity and economic importance of the region during this period. The photograph also reveals the picturesque beauty of the area, with the rolling hills and lush greenery of Northumberland providing a striking contrast to the industrial landscape. The River Tyne, with its shimmering surface reflecting the sunlight, adds to the serene and idyllic atmosphere. Despite the passage of time, this photograph remains an invaluable reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Wallsend and Newcastle-upon-Tyne. It offers a glimpse into the daily lives of the people who lived and worked along the river during the 1910s, and serves as a reminder of the enduring connection between the community and the River Tyne.
