EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the crisp autumn air and the fading summer sun, the Walton Belle, a magnificent paddle steamship, makes her final call of the season at Southwold, Suffolk, on September 19, 1910. The Edwardian-era vessel, adorned with elegant lines and a distinctive funnel, prepares to depart from the pier, carrying a full complement of passengers eager to soak in the last vestiges of summer. The Walton Belle, a beloved symbol of transport and fun for holidaymakers, had provided countless trips and outings for families and visitors throughout the season. The sight of the steamship against the backdrop of the coastline, with the sea shimmering in the distance, evokes a sense of nostalgia and wonder. As the passengers, dressed in their finest Edwardian attire, gather on the deck, they share in the excitement of the journey ahead. The Walton Belle's departure marks the end of the summer season but also the beginning of a new chapter, as the promise of autumn and the enchanting allure of the coast beckon. This evocative photograph, taken on that fateful day in September, captures a moment in time that remains etched in the annals of Southwold's history. The Walton Belle, with its passengers on board, sets sail into the sunset, leaving behind memories of a summer well spent and the anticipation of the adventures that await in the coming months.
