EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the historic Royal Sailors Rest in Fore Street, Devonport, Plymouth. The building, with its charming lantern slide and Victorian architecture, served as a home for naval personnel during the early Edwardian era. The Royal Sailors Rest was a place of respite and camaraderie for sailors from the nearby portsmouth Naval Base.
The image exudes a sense of nostalgia, transporting viewers back to a time when Agnes Weston's "Aggies" provided support and comfort to those serving in the navy. The intricate details of the building's facade showcase the craftsmanship of that era, while also highlighting the importance of providing a welcoming space for those who dedicated their lives to serving their country.
As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by these brave men and women who called this place home. The Royal Sailors Rest stands as a testament to their service and dedication to protecting our shores.
The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection has preserved this piece of history for future generations to appreciate and learn from. It serves as a reminder of the rich maritime heritage that is deeply ingrained in the fabric of Devonport, Plymouth.
