EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by photographer Jonathan Barker, we witness a significant moment in Fowey's history. It is December 1993, and the esteemed Fowey Mayor Rhona Foster stands proudly beside Deputy Mayor Roger Blount. The occasion? A heartfelt presentation of a brand-new chain of office to Councillor Blount. The story behind this symbolic gesture adds depth to the image. Earlier that year, tragedy struck when an unfortunate break-in occurred at Councillor Blount's residence, Fowey Hall. Among the stolen items was the original chain of office—a cherished symbol of civic responsibility and authority within Cornwall. Determined not to let adversity dampen their spirits, Deputy Mayor Blount took it upon himself to commission a replacement for the lost regalia. And so, on this day filled with pride and resilience, Mayor Foster honors his commitment by presenting him with this new emblematic chain. Adorned in traditional Cornish robes befitting their roles as representatives of Fowey's community, both figures radiate dignity and determination. This photograph encapsulates their unwavering dedication towards serving their town despite setbacks faced along the way. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's archives, this poignant snapshot serves as a reminder that even during challenging times, unity prevails over adversity. It immortalizes an act of generosity and camaraderie that will forever be etched into Fowey's rich history—a testament to the strength found within communities when they come together for a
