EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scenic Queens Promenade in Douglas, Isle of Man, during the summer month of August in 1933. The promenade, named after Queen Victoria, is a popular coastal road that stretches along the eastern coast of the town, offering breathtaking views of the Irish Sea. In this image, we see a bustling scene of activity as locals and visitors enjoy the sunny day by the water's edge. A group of people, dressed in fashionable attire of the 1930s, stroll along the promenade, chatting and laughing as they take in the picturesque views. A horse-drawn carriage, reminiscent of a bygone era, passes by, adding to the charm of the scene. In the background, the historic Castle Rushen can be seen, standing proudly on a hill overlooking the town. The castle, a popular tourist attraction, adds a sense of history and tradition to the modern-day scene. The promenade is also home to the iconic Douglas Bay Horse Tramway, which can be seen in the distance, with its distinctive red trams making their way along the tramlines. The trams, a beloved mode of transportation for both locals and tourists, have been in operation since 1876, making them one of the oldest working horse tramways in the world. The beach, with its golden sands and crystal-clear waters, is a hive of activity as children build sandcastles, families picnic, and swimmers take a dip in the sea. The sound of laughter and the gentle lapping of the waves create a peaceful and idyllic atmosphere, making the Queens Promenade in Douglas a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a relaxing and memorable seaside holiday.
