EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and immerse yourself in the enchanting atmosphere of Barrow-in-Furness Devonshire Docks during the late Victorian era. This photograph, taken in the 19th century, transports us to an era of elegance and industry. The Devonshire Docks, located in the heart of Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, England, were a vital part of the bustling port town. During this period, the docks were a hive of activity, with ships from around the world docking to trade goods and supplies. The Edwardian and early Victorian eras saw significant growth in the region's iron and steel industries, making Barrow-in-Furness a hub for manufacturing and commerce. This photograph showcases the picturesque scene of the docks, with their elegant Victorian architecture and the vast expanse of water stretching out towards the horizon. The intricate details of the dockside buildings, with their ornate brickwork and tall chimneys, are a testament to the craftsmanship of the time. The cranes and ships in the foreground add a sense of industry and purpose, while the calm waters and clear skies create a serene and peaceful atmosphere. The lantern slide, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique and fascinating glimpse into the past. It invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of this vibrant and historic port town, and to appreciate the beauty and significance of Barrow-in-Furness during the Victorian era.
