In this print titled "Town Crier Douglas Knott, bellows out the proclamations" we are transported back to the vibrant atmosphere of Hexham Town Fair on 27 August 1979. The image showcases a moment frozen in time, as one mature man stands tall and proud, embodying the customs and traditions of an era long gone. With his mouth wide open and a magnificent bell in hand, this town crier commands attention from all those gathered around him. His booming voice echoes through the streets as he shares informative proclamations with eager listeners. It is clear that he takes great pride in his role as a messenger for the community. The photograph captures not only the loudness of his shouts but also the essence of a bygone era when such public figures were revered for their ability to communicate important news to townsfolk. As we gaze upon this image, we cannot help but be fascinated by how these customs have evolved over time. Although little is known about this particular town crier's age or identity, it matters not; what truly captivates us is witnessing history unfold before our eyes. This print serves as a reminder of an era where tradition was cherished and shared openly among communities - a testament to human connection that transcends generations.
