EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting photograph of Seaside Bathing Machines from the early 1900s, as captured in The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. This vintage image transports us to a bygone era of childhood innocence and seaside leisure. Dressed in their best, young boys and girls eagerly await their turn to enter the bathing machines, those quaint and colorful huts on wheels that once lined the shores of England's seaside resorts. The machines were a popular solution to the modest Victorian and Edwardian sensibilities that frowned upon public bathing, allowing beachgoers to change and enter the sea in private. The boys, dressed in knickers and blazers, and the girls in long dresses and bonnets, are filled with excitement and anticipation as they gather around the lantern-lit machine, ready to embark on their seaside adventure. The lantern, a practical necessity for those early morning or late afternoon swims, adds an air of mystery and romance to the scene. This photograph is a precious reminder of a simpler time, when a day at the seaside was a cherished family outing, and the simple joy of a swim in the sea was enough to create lasting memories. The Seaside Bathing Machines, with their charming huts and lanterns, offer a glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the laughter, the sunshine, and the salty sea air that once filled the air around them.
