More of Donald Shield’s photographs from 1903

Charlie Shields, seen on the left, with an unknown companion, sailing on the Norfolk Broads in 1903.

Another unknown location with an unidentified sailing cruiser towing three men in a boat!

A lads sailing trip in 1903, Charlie Shields is pictured sitting on the right. As with most images from this collection, hats were very much the order of the day but clothing styles were quickly moving away from the formal, black outfits associated with Queen Victoria’s reign. The sailing cruiser is believed to be “Frolic” from Ernest Collins yard at Wroxham.

Another picture of the same crew.

Moored at an unknown location, the lads enjoy a spot of lunch and some liquid refreshment!

Entertainment was found in much simpler forms in 1903 - here the lads partake of a game of cards on the riverbank. Charlie Shields is pictured in the centre.

Another photograph taken at the same time.
