EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of Bideford Quay, taken in September 1934. Transporting us to a bygone era, the image offers a nostalgic glimpse into the bustling historic port that was once Britain's third largest. Standing on the quay, we are treated to a breathtaking view looking north along the majestic River Torridge. The scene is alive with activity as boats and ships gracefully navigate the river's gentle currents. Among them, proudly moored up, is the Gol Bergen - an elegant vessel that adds charm and character to this picturesque setting. Its presence serves as a reminder of Bideford's rich maritime heritage. As we take in our surroundings, it becomes evident why Bideford was such an important hub for trade and commerce during its heyday. The quay stretches out before us like a welcoming embrace from history itself - its weathered wharf bearing witness to countless journeys embarked upon by intrepid sailors and merchants. This remarkable print captures not only the physical beauty of Bideford Quay but also preserves a moment frozen in time; an invaluable piece of Devon's maritime legacy. Display it proudly in your home or office as a testament to our shared history and admiration for these extraordinary ports that shaped our nation.
