Action Announcement Announcing Bell Buckled Buckles Cornered Cornish Cravat Crier Cryer Fowey News Ringing Shoes Shout Shouting Sunny Sunshine Tricorne
EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the sun-kissed harbor of Fowey, Cornwall, in the vibrant 1970s, a town crier in traditional attire proudly announces the latest news to the eager crowd. The man in the red, blue, and gold costume, complete with a tricorne hat adorned with buckles and a cravat, rings his loud and resonant bell to gather attention. The crisp, clear air carries his shout across the water, where boats bob gently in the summer sun. The town crier's historical role as a community messenger comes alive in this scene. His costume, a nod to the past, is a striking contrast against the sunny backdrop. The crier's announcement, though not recorded, is a testament to the rich history and traditions of Cornwall. The men and women in the crowd, some clad in summer attire, listen intently, their faces filled with curiosity and anticipation. This moment, frozen in time, is a reminder of the enduring charm and allure of Fowey and its people.
