EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the picturesque town of Bideford in Devon during the 1960s, showcases the traditional practice of salmon netting. Four local fishermen, dressed in waterproof clothing and waders, stand waist-deep in the crystal-clear water, their eyes focused intently on the task at hand. The men, both young and old, are seen holding and pulling on their nets, their expressions a testament to the concentration and dedication required for this ancient fishing technique. The scene is set against the backdrop of a quaint stone bridge, its arches reflecting in the calm waters. The bridge, a historical landmark, adds a sense of timelessness to the image, as does the rustic tackle and worn fishing caps adorning the heads of the fishermen. The reflection of the bridge and the surrounding trees in the water adds a serene and peaceful quality to the photograph. Despite the industrious nature of the scene, there is a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature. The men work in unison, their movements in sync with the gentle flow of the water. The traffic lights and modern piping visible in the background serve as a reminder of the passage of time and the changing world around them. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and heritage of Bideford and its people, and the importance of the fishing industry to the town's identity. It is a poignant reminder of a simpler time, when the rhythms of nature and the traditions of the past still held sway.
