EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken in November 1910, a bustling scene unfolds at the docks of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England. The brisk autumn air is filled with the pungent aroma of fresh herring as fishermen work diligently to load the precious cargo onto trucks. The herring, recently caught in the North Sea, are carefully arranged on the ice-covered tables, their silvery scales glinting in the sunlight. The scene is a testament to the thriving herring fishery industry in Great Yarmouth during the early 1900s. The town was renowned for its herring fishery, and the annual herring season brought a wave of activity to the port. The herring were caught using traditional methods such as drift netting and trawling, and were then quickly processed and transported to markets across the country and beyond. The fishermen in this photograph work with a sense of urgency, knowing that the herring must be transported to market as soon as possible to ensure their freshness. The trucks, with their high sides and wooden beds, are the perfect solution for transporting the fish. The men use large wooden crates to scoop up the herring and carefully place them into the trucks, taking care not to damage the delicate fish. Despite the hard work and physical labor involved, there is a sense of camaraderie and community among the fishermen. They work together, each playing a crucial role in the process, from catching the fish to loading them onto the trucks. The scene is a reminder of the importance of the fishing industry to the economy and livelihoods of the people of Great Yarmouth during this period. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the herring fishery was a thriving industry and the docks of Great Yarmouth were a hive of activity. It is a reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape the town to this day.
