1884 Ferries Ferry Kings Lynn Norfolk
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this 19th-century photograph of the ferry at King's Lynn, Norfolk, England. The image, captured in 1884, showcases the historical significance of water transport in this picturesque town. The ferry, with its distinctive shape and simple design, carries a basket-laden woman and her belongings across the water. The woman, dressed in traditional attire, adds a human touch to the scene, highlighting the importance of this mode of transport for the local community. King's Lynn, located in the eastern English county of Norfolk, has a rich maritime history. The town's strategic position on the Great Ouse River made it an essential port during medieval times, and the use of ferries played a crucial role in connecting the town to its surrounding areas. This photograph is a testament to the area's history and the resilience of its people. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where life was simpler, and the natural world played a more significant role in daily life. The calm waters of the river, the quaint ferry, and the woman carrying her basket add to the serene beauty of the scene. The photograph is a valuable historical record, offering a glimpse into the past and providing insight into the daily lives of people in King's Lynn during the late 19th century. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving our history and the role that historical records play in shaping our understanding of the past.
