EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph captures the triumphant moment of Mr. Gomer Thomas, the Champion Town Crier of England and Wales, as he proudly waves the Championship Cup aloft following his victory at the National Town Criers Championships held in Marlborough, Wiltshire, in July 1934. The historical image transports us back to the 1930s, a time when the role of the town crier held significant importance within the community. Mr. Thomas, a skilled and dedicated crier, had triumphed over his competitors through his powerful voice and precise delivery of announcements. The Championships, which brought together the best town criers from England and Wales, were a testament to the enduring tradition of this ancient service. As Mr. Thomas raises the gleaming Champtionship Cup above his head, the expression on his face is one of pure joy and victory. The image is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when the town crier played a vital role in connecting communities and keeping people informed. This photograph, now a valuable piece of historical record, stands as a testament to the rich history and the enduring spirit of the town crier." Mary Evans Picture Library's extensive collection offers a wealth of historical images, each with a unique story to tell. This photograph of Mr. Gomer Thomas, the triumphant Champion Town Crier, is a perfect example of the fascinating glimpses into the past that can be found within their archives.
