EDITORS COMMENTS
Tetney Lock, near Cleethorpes on the Louth Canal, Lincolnshire (circa 1910) This charming postcard image captures the picturesque Tetney Lock on the Louth Canal in Lincolnshire, England, as it appeared around the turn of the twentieth century. The lock, located near the small coastal town of Cleethorpes, is a vital part of the waterway system that once connected the Humber Estuary with the River Trent and beyond. The scene showcases the lock in full operation, with a horse-drawn barge carefully making its way through the lock gates, guided by a canal worker. The tranquil waters of the canal reflect the clear blue sky above, dotted with fluffy white clouds. The lush greenery of the surrounding landscape, including the tall trees along the banks, adds to the idyllic setting. The postcard's Pictorchrom process gives the image a vibrant, almost painterly quality, enhancing the natural beauty of the scene. The intricate details of the lock gates, the textures of the barge and the horse, and the reflections on the water all come to life in this snapshot of a bygone era. The Louth Canal, which opened in 1777, played a significant role in the transportation of goods between the Humber Estuary and the inland towns and villages of Lincolnshire. Horse-drawn barges, like the one depicted in this postcard, were a common sight on the canal, transporting coal, grain, and other commodities. Today, the canal is a popular destination for leisure boaters and anglers, offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of modern life. This postcard, produced circa 1910, is a precious reminder of the rich history and natural beauty of the Tetney Lock and the Louth Canal in Lincolnshire.
