EDITORS COMMENTS
A Peaceful Scene on the River Lea: River Lea and Lock, Hertford (1911) This charming postcard, dated 1911, captures a serene moment on the River Lea in Hertford, Hertfordshire. The image showcases the picturesque lock system, a vital component of the historic waterway that connected the River Lea with the River Stort and the Port of London. The River Lea, a significant tributary that flows into the Thames, has played a pivotal role in the history of Hertford and its surrounding areas. In the early 1900s, the waterway was an essential means of transportation for goods and people, linking various towns and villages in Hertfordshire and beyond. The photograph, taken in the 1910s, highlights the tranquility and natural beauty of the area. The lock, with its arched brick walls and wooden gates, stands proudly against the backdrop of the gently flowing river. The lush greenery along the banks and the reflection of the clear blue sky in the water add to the idyllic scene. The postcard, published by an unknown publisher, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace. The River Lea and Lock in Hertford served as a vital connection to the outside world, and this photograph captures the essence of that era, encapsulating the charm and allure of a bygone era.
