EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a vibrant scene from the Brixham Fish Market in September 1964. The image showcases the bustling activity of fishermen and traders, surrounded by crates of freshly caught fish and buckets filled with glistening ice. It offers a glimpse into the heart of this historic fishing community nestled in Brixham, Torbay, Devon. The photograph's composition beautifully emphasizes the camaraderie between these hardworking individuals as they go about their daily routines. Their weathered faces tell stories of countless hours spent at sea, braving unpredictable waters to bring back bountiful catches for their livelihoods. Intriguingly, this particular site at the inner harbor served as home to the fish market until 1971 when it relocated to its current location at the New Fish Quay. This significant shift marked an era of change for Brixham's fishing industry but also symbolized its resilience and adaptability. Norman Barnard's expert eye skillfully captured both the physical labor involved in this trade as well as the undeniable sense of community that thrived within these walls. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to witness a vital part of England's maritime heritage - where tradition meets innovation amidst an ever-changing landscape. This remarkable print stands not only as a testament to Brixham's rich history but also serves as a reminder of how our coastal communities have evolved over time while preserving their deep-rooted connections to fishing and seafaring traditions.
