EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1931 with this photograph of the hotel bus and tractor ferry at Burgh Island, Devon. The image transports us to a bygone era, where the simple pleasures of island living were the height of luxury. Burgh Island Hotel, an art deco gem, sits proudly on the shores of this secluded island off Bigbury-on-Sea. Accessible only by foot at low tide or by tractor ferry during high tide, the hotel offers a unique and exclusive retreat for its guests. In this photograph, we see the hotel bus and tractor ferry, essential modes of transport for both guests and their luggage. The bus, with its open-air design, adds to the adventure of the journey, while the tractor ferry, powered by a sturdy tractor, braves the waves to transport guests and their belongings safely to the island. The isolation of Burgh Island adds to its allure, and the hotel's proximity to the sea is evident in this photograph. The tide, a constant presence, plays a crucial role in the daily life of the island and its inhabitants. Despite the passage of time, Burgh Island Hotel remains a beloved destination, offering visitors a chance to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of modern life and immerse themselves in the timeless beauty of the Devon coastline.
