This photograph captures the distinguished figure of William John Crump (1850-1923), the inaugural Mayor of Islington from 1900 to 1902. The image, taken in the year of his mayoral tenure, 1900, showcases Crump's dignified demeanor and impeccable attire, including his mayoral robes and chain of office. Born in the heart of Islington, Crump was deeply connected to the community, having served as a school board member, a magistrate, and a member of the local council before being elected as the borough's first mayor. His dedication to public service and commitment to improving the lives of his fellow Islingtonians were unwavering, and his mayoral term marked a significant milestone in the borough's history.
