Aug17 Awaiting Candid Families Holidaymakers Parents Perambulator Pier Pram Tables
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1906, depicts a lively scene of holidaymakers at a British pier, seated at tables and seemingly awaiting something with great anticipation. The coastal resort, with its vibrant atmosphere and bustling energy, is a popular destination for families looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. The square, open-air pier extends into the distance, dotted with colorful booths and shops selling various seaside trinkets and treats. Parents and children sit at the tables, some engaged in animated conversations, while others watch the activity around them with wide-eyed wonder. A pram or perambulator, a common mode of transportation for young families at the time, is parked nearby, adding to the sense of family and togetherness. The holidaymakers are dressed in their Sunday best, reflecting the importance of a day at the seaside as a social event. The women wear elegant dresses and hats, while the men don suits and bowler hats. The children, dressed in their Sunday best as well, are a delight to behold, their expressions filled with excitement and curiosity. This candid photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when a day at the seaside was a cherished tradition for families, a time to come together, create memories, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
