EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by Edward John Bedford between 1905 and 1925, presents a captivating scene of Shoreham By Sea harbour in West Sussex. The image reveals a partly submerged horse-drawn ballast cart, abandoned in the shallow waters off the harbour. The cart, which once played a crucial role in the loading and unloading of cargo ships, now lies forgotten, its wooden frame weathered by the salty sea air and the relentless tides. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich maritime history of Shoreham Harbour, a place where the past and present intertwine. The horse and cart, a traditional mode of transportation, stand in stark contrast to the modern yachts and boats moored nearby, built by the renowned Stow and Son Yacht Builders, visible in the background. The image also underscores the ever-changing nature of the sea and the role it plays in shaping the landscape. The cart, once a vital tool for the harbour's economic activity, now serves as a reminder of the past, submerged in the very element it once helped to navigate. The photograph, held in the Historic England archive, is a testament to the area's rich maritime heritage and the passage of time. It invites us to reflect on the past and consider the role of the sea in shaping the communities that have grown up around it.
