Sale of Herrings, on the Quay, Great Yarmouth, 1856. Creator: Walter Ray Woods
Sale of Herrings, on the Quay, Great Yarmouth, 1856. Selling fish in East Anglia:..the boats go southward as far as the mouth of the Thames and the South Foreland. Herrings also frequent a part opposite Yarmouth called the Head; and a place known....as the Brown Bank, on the Dutch coast. There is also a smaller sort of herring caught at Yarmouth, by boats nearer the shore; they are of good quality, and are called "long shores, " or "alongshore herrings." When the fishery is near home, great numbers of boats depart from the shore at sunset to set their nets, returning in the morning to dispose of their cargoes. The beach at such times presents a very picturesque appearance, and when, seen from the platform of the Jetty, from which a view of the whole business of the herring-boats may be commanded, exhibits a scene of an exceedingly animated and bustling description'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856
