EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from May 1995, we are transported to the picturesque coastal town of Fowey in Cornwall. The image captures a momentous occasion - the mayor making ceremony held in the historic town hall. Standing proudly on the Town Quay, we see the newly appointed Mayor of Fowey, Ron Bennett, adorned with his mayoral chain and donning a traditional bicorn hat. By his side stands his Deputy, Michael Culver, both men exuding an air of civic pride. The scene is framed by elegant black railings that line the quay's edge and provide a striking contrast against the vibrant blue waters of Fowey's harbor. In the background, a lifeboat rests peacefully as if silently acknowledging this significant event taking place nearby. The photograph beautifully encapsulates Cornwall's rich ceremonial traditions and its deep connection to its coastal heritage. The majestic robes worn by these esteemed individuals further emphasize their roles as custodians of this enchanting region. Taken by photographer Jonathan Barker, this image not only freezes a moment in time but also serves as a testament to community spirit and leadership within Fowey. It reminds us of our shared history and celebrates those who dedicate themselves to serving their fellow citizens with dignity and honor.
