Description: Blackshore, River Blythe, Suffolk by Peter Henry Emerson from his illustrated book 'Pictures of East Anglian Life'. In the book, Emerson describes this scene as follows: "This is Blackshore on the River Blythe - Blackshore, of which we read that once spacious warehouses were erected on its wharf 'for the stowage of nets and other stores, one room of which is capable of holding a thousand tons of salt;' that a dock was made there in 1783, and that in the same year twenty fishing-busses met there for the white-herring fishery. It seems this quay was made in James the First's reign, and must have been the scene of busy life when Dunwich, Walberswick, and Southwold were flourishing with their fisheries; but as the greater places fell to nothingness, so has this little place proportionately fallen into utter decay..."
