EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Tilbury Ferry a001369, " offers a nostalgic glimpse into the bustling maritime scene of yesteryears. Taken by the talented photographer Stanley W Rawlings between 1945 and 1965, this image showcases the iconic Tilbury Ferry as it gracefully navigates through the tranquil waters of River Thames in Essex. From the deck of another boat, we are transported back in time to witness a snapshot of daily life on this vital waterway. The ferry's sturdy presence is accentuated by its cargo - an array of cars and lorries neatly arranged upon its decks. These vehicles serve as a testament to the importance of river transport during this era, providing essential links for both people and goods across Essex. Rawlings' expert composition allows us to appreciate not only the functional aspects but also the aesthetic beauty inherent in these vessels. The gentle ripples created by their passage create mesmerizing patterns on the water's surface, while sunlight dances upon their polished surfaces. As we delve into this historical gem from Historic England's collection, we cannot help but marvel at how transportation has evolved over time. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that our present-day connections owe much gratitude to those who paved the way before us - like S W Rawlings capturing moments that now allow us to reflect upon our rich maritime heritage with admiration and appreciation.
