EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from March 1970, we witness the beginning of a significant project to extend the harbour at Brixham in order to enhance fish landing facilities. The image transports us back to an era filled with nostalgia and charm, as we take a glimpse into the past of this quaint seaside town in South West England. The scene unfolds at Oxen Cove, which is yet to be reclaimed and transformed into what it is today. Against a backdrop of rugged coastline and rolling waves, workers can be seen diligently engaged in their tasks. The air is thick with anticipation as heavy machinery operates alongside traditional fishing boats that have long been synonymous with Brixham's maritime heritage. This snapshot captures not only the physical transformation taking place but also reflects the spirit of progress and innovation that defined the 1970s. It serves as a reminder of how communities adapt and evolve over time while cherishing their roots. As we immerse ourselves in this piece of history frozen in time, our imagination takes flight envisioning bustling activity once these improvements are completed – fishermen unloading their bountiful catches, locals gathering on the quayside exchanging stories, and visitors marvelling at the vibrant atmosphere that defines Brixham's fishing industry. Mirrorpix has expertly preserved this momentous occasion through Memory Lane Prints, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and aesthetic beauty. This photograph stands as a testament to human ingenuity shaping coastal landscapes for generations to come.
