EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the late Victorian era and join the crowds at Colwyn Bay, North Wales, as they enjoy a sunny day at the seaside. This charming photograph captures the essence of a summer holiday during the 1880s, with people of all ages and backgrounds coming together to enjoy the simple pleasures of the coast. The beach at Colwyn Bay is dotted with colorful bathing huts, providing privacy and shelter for those taking a dip in the cool, inviting waters of the Irish Sea. The huts, with their distinctive red, blue, and green roofs, add a cheerful touch to the scene and are a testament to the popularity of seaside holidays during this period. The scene is bustling with activity, with people of all ages and sizes making the most of the day. Children play in the sand, building sandcastles and splashing in the waves, while their parents relax on the beach or watch from the safety of the shore. The sound of laughter and chatter fills the air, creating a joyful atmosphere that is timeless. The presence of the large, wooden bathing machines, with their wheels raised, suggests that some visitors are preparing to take a dip in the sea, while others are content to simply soak up the sun and enjoy the fresh sea air. The scene is one of leisure and relaxation, a time when people could put aside their daily worries and enjoy the simple pleasures of a day at the beach. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the enduring appeal of the seaside and the joy that can be found in the simple things in life. Whether you're a history buff, a lover of the sea, or simply looking for a moment of escape, this image of Colwyn Bay in the late Victorian era is sure to capture your imagination and transport you to a bygone era.
