Burnaby, a name that resonates with history and adventure. From the daring exploits of Colonel Frederick Burnaby to the captivating performances of The Company of the Co-optimists, this place has seen it all. In the skies above, Lords Of The Air like Frederick Gustavus Burnaby soared fearlessly in their balloons, defying gravity and pushing boundaries. And on land, Davy Burnaby brought laughter to audiences through his caricatures. The legacy stretches far and wide, as depicted in James Tissot's artwork capturing its essence in 1870. Even Birmingham proudly showcases its connection to this remarkable place through souvenir postcards depicting its charm. But beyond fame and entertainment lies another facet - its rich natural resources. The Gold Mines of Merionethshire in North Wales have long been a source of prosperity for this region. Amidst all these tales from the past emerges Captain Frederick Gustavus Burnaby, a man who embodied courage as he led his troops during times of conflict. His image captured by Roger Fenton stands as a testament to his bravery and dedication. And so we remember Burnaby not just for one aspect but for its multifaceted nature - an amalgamation of history, artistry, entertainment, exploration, and resilience. As we reflect upon the death of Colonel Burnaby in 1885 or witness The Worthing Pier Pavilion come alive with performances by The Co-Optimists in October 1921; we are reminded that behind every name lies stories waiting to be discovered and celebrated.
