EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the May Queen and her court of Girl Guides from Colwyn Bay, near Rhos on Sea, Conwy, Wales, during the 1920s. The image transports us back in time to an era of innocence and tradition. The May Queen, dressed in a beautiful white gown and adorned with flowers, sits regally upon her throne, surrounded by her loyal attendants in their brown Girl Guide uniforms. The Girls' faces are filled with excitement and pride as they celebrate the arrival of spring. The backdrop of Colwyn Bay and the surrounding coastline adds to the enchanting scene. The calm waters of the Irish Sea and the picturesque landscape provide a serene setting for this traditional May Day ceremony. The event was likely held at the seaside town's pavilion or bandstand, which can be seen in the background. The Girl Guides organization, founded by Robert Baden-Powell in 1910, had already gained significant popularity in the UK by the 1920s. The group aimed to provide girls with opportunities for adventure, learning, and character development. The May Day celebrations offered an opportunity for the Guides to come together, engage in community activities, and strengthen their bonds with one another. This photograph is a precious reminder of the rich history and traditions that once thrived in Colwyn Bay and the surrounding areas of Conwy and Clwyd, Wales. It offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of community and the joy of celebrating the arrival of spring.
