EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a simpler time at Salcombe Beach in Devon during the 1960s. The shingle and pebbly shoreline stretches out before the eye, dotted with boats and planks used for transporting fish and other goods from the harbour. Boys in shorts and knitted jumpers wade through the shallow waters, exploring the rocky pools and hunting for crabs, while adults relax on the sandy patches, soaking up the sun. A rowing boat rests on the beach, its oars neatly arranged, waiting to be used for a day on the water. The wooden planks and boats in the foreground add a sense of industry and transport, while the boats in the distance hint at the thriving fishing industry that once defined Salcombe's economy. The bay, with its clear blue waters and picturesque harbour, is a popular destination for visitors and locals alike. Salcombe's unique character, with its West Country charm and natural beauty, continues to draw people to its shores, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of simple pleasures and connection to the natural world.
