EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time as we journey to the elegant seaside resort of Torquay, Devon, in the late 1800s. This photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library transports us to an era of grandeur and leisure, where ladies and gentlemen donned their finest attire to enjoy a day at the promenade. The promenade, a popular destination for the well-to-do, was a place to be seen and to see others. Some strolled along the seafront, their dogs at their side, while others preferred the comfort and style of horse-drawn carriages. A few even arrived in grandeur on horseback, their side-saddles a testament to their refined status. The gentlemen, dressed in their formal suits and top hats, looked on with admiration as the ladies, in their elegant gowns and bonnets, gracefully walked along the sandy beach. The sea, a calming backdrop to the scene, provided a refreshing breeze, while the sun cast a warm glow over the promenade. Torquay, a popular Victorian resort town, was renowned for its picturesque coastline, healthful climate, and luxurious accommodations. The town's elegant promenade was the perfect place to show off one's wealth and status, and this photograph captures the essence of that bygone era. As we gaze upon this scene, we can almost hear the sound of hooves on the sand, the gentle clatter of carriage wheels, and the laughter of the ladies and gentlemen enjoying their day at the seaside.
