EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling fishing scene in Annan during August 1947. The image showcases a group of hardworking fishermen, dedicated to their craft, as they skillfully navigate the waters of the Solway Firth. Their expertise is evident as they employ traditional methods passed down through generations. These men are seen using fixed nets known as Poke, Stake or Haaf nets to secure their prized catch of salmon, trout, and sea trout. It's fascinating to note that these techniques have been practiced since the Burgh Royal Charters were established in 1538 and 1612. Dressed in water-proof attire and sporting classic flat caps, these resilient individuals epitomize the essence of a bygone era when fishing was not just an occupation but a way of life. Their unwavering commitment to their trade is palpable in this snapshot frozen in time. As we admire this remarkable photograph from Mirrorpix's collection at Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to an era where simplicity reigned supreme. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history embedded within our coastal communities and pays homage to those who tirelessly worked on these waters for centuries.
