EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse into the past, showcasing the North Shields Fish Wives in the early 1900s. These hardworking women were an integral part of the fishing industry in Northumberland, England during this time period.
Dressed in traditional Victorian and Edwardian attire, these fishwives can be seen carrying baskets filled with herring caught by local fishermen. Their faces tell stories of resilience and strength as they go about their daily tasks with determination and grace.
The bustling atmosphere of the fishing port is evident in the background, with boats moored along the quay and fishermen unloading their catch. The salty sea air and sounds of seagulls overhead add to the authenticity of this historic scene.
As we gaze upon this vintage photograph, we are transported back in time to an era where life was simpler yet undoubtedly challenging for these women who played a vital role in supporting their families through their work as fishwives.
The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection has preserved this snapshot of history for us to appreciate and reflect upon. It serves as a reminder of the unsung heroes who contributed to the thriving fishing community of North Shields in days gone by.
