Address Anne Bentinck Cavendish Enterprising Grand Daughter Illuminations Mayor Portland Shopping Snow Storm Speech Week Worksop 1937 December Inaugurating
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Lady Anne Cavendish-Bentinck, the granddaughter of the Duke of Portland, braves a severe snowstorm while inaugurating Worksop's shopping week and illuminations in December 1937. The image captures a moment of historical significance as Lady Anne, dressed in a stylish coat and hat, listens intently to the mayor's speech, her expression determined and resolute. Surrounded by a forest of hurriedly opened umbrellas, she remains unphased by the inclement weather as she prepares to deliver her own address to the crowd of spectators. Despite the challenging conditions, Lady Anne's spirit shines through as she congratulates Worksop on its enterprising spirit and expresses her hope that the shopping week will bring better trade to the town. This moment in Worksop's history is a testament to the resilience and determination of its people, as they come together to celebrate community and commerce in the face of adversity. The photograph, taken during a time when the world was recovering from the economic hardships of the Great Depression, captures the essence of the human spirit and the importance of community and enterprise. It is a reminder that even in the harshest of conditions, we can find the strength to come together and forge ahead, just as Lady Anne Cavendish-Bentinck did that December day in Worksop.
