EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history as it unveils the last piece of art that will adorn the walls of the Mayor's Parlour at Sutton Coldfield. Amongst an array of distinguished portraits, there is one space left eagerly awaiting its occupant. And this is the picture that will fill it. The subject of this portrait is none other than Alderman Donald Mills, who proudly holds the esteemed title of being the 62nd Mayor of Sutton Coldfield. However, his tenure marks not only a significant milestone but also a bittersweet ending. The borough itself faces an imminent transformation next spring when it merges with the new Birmingham Metropolitan District. In this snapshot from July 5th, 1973, we witness Alderman Mills adorned in his majestic robes and chain of office, exuding dignity and authority befitting his role. This image encapsulates both civic pride and nostalgia for a bygone era. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are reminded not only of Sutton Coldfield's rich history but also how change can reshape our communities. It serves as a testament to those who have dedicated their lives to public service and leaves us pondering what lies ahead for future generations.
