EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the enchanting town of Lostwithiel in Cornwall, May 1992. The image captures a momentous occasion - the Mayor Making ceremony held in the historic Guildhall. Standing proudly at its center is Warren Nicholls, the newly appointed mayor of Lostwithiel, accompanied by his radiant wife Helen. Dressed in traditional regalia that exudes elegance and authority, Mayor Nicholls dons an exquisite robe adorned with intricate details and a chain symbolizing his esteemed position. His choice to hold the reception at the Community Centre reflects his commitment to inclusivity and community engagement. Flanking this distinguished couple are two figures who add an air of formality and tradition to the scene. Bill Doe, Town Sergeant, stands tall with pride while Andrew Daniell assumes his role as Sergeant at Mace; both men epitomize loyalty and dedication. Councillor Nicholls' tenure as mayor spanned from 1992 to 1993 - a testament to his leadership skills and unwavering commitment towards serving his beloved town. Photographed by Jonathan Barker, this remarkable snapshot immortalizes not only a significant moment in Lostwithiel's history but also showcases Cornish civic culture through their distinctive top hats, bicorn hat (a nod to naval heritage), and other ceremonial elements. This print serves as a timeless reminder of Mayor Warren Nicholls' contribution towards shaping Lostwithiel's destiny during those transformative years.
