EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the 1930s, showcasing the Severn King car ferry making its way across the River Severn. The Severn King, a beloved and iconic vessel, served as a vital means of transportation for people and their vehicles before the opening of the Severn Bridge in 1966. The image is filled with a sense of nostalgia as we observe the ferry skillfully navigating the water, its powerful engines cutting through the gentle waves. The cars and motorcycles parked on the deck, their headlights shining, add to the scene's intrigue and evoke a sense of adventure. The Severn King was a crucial part of the daily lives of those living in the surrounding areas, allowing them to connect with each other and the world beyond the river's banks. The ferry's passengers, dressed in fashionable attire of the era, can be seen waving and smiling, seemingly unaware of the historical significance of the moment being captured. This photograph is a testament to the importance of water transport in our history and the role it played in shaping the lives of communities. The Severn King car ferry may no longer be in service, but its legacy continues to inspire and captivate us, reminding us of a time when the world seemed a little more connected and a little more simple.
