EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming postcard, published by W. Bland in Lytham, Lancashire around 1905, captures the picturesque scene of the Lifeboat House and Windmill along the coastline. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to imagine the hustle and bustle of a bygone era. The Lifeboat House, a red-brick building with a steeply pitched roof, stands proudly on the shoreline, its doors open, ready for action. The lifeboat, with its long, narrow shape and tall, vertical oars, is positioned in front of the house, awaiting the call to save lives at sea. The windmill, a distinctive landmark of Lytham, towers in the background, its sails turning gently in the breeze. The calm, clear waters of the bay stretch out towards the horizon, dotted with small boats and sailing vessels. The sky above is a brilliant blue, with fluffy white clouds scattered across it. The scene is serene and idyllic, yet there is a sense of purpose and readiness in the air, a reminder of the vital role the lifeboat crew played in the community. This postcard is a beautiful snapshot of life in Lytham, Lancashire over a century ago. It invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the simple pleasures of a time when life moved at a slower pace. The image is a testament to the enduring charm of the British coastline and the importance of the lifeboat service in protecting the lives of those who live and work by the sea.
