Capturing the Legacy - Celebrating 60 Years of Lostwithiel Women's Institute
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this timeless photo print, we are transported back to May 1984, as the Lostwithiel Women's Institute commemorates their remarkable 60th anniversary. The grand Restormel Lodge Hotel in Cornwall serves as the backdrop for an evening filled with joy and nostalgia. At the heart of this special occasion stands a beautifully adorned cake, waiting to be sliced by four extraordinary women who have played pivotal roles in shaping both the institute and their community. From left to right, we witness Gwen Powell-Jones, esteemed Mayor; Kristen Arundel, a distinguished National WI member; Doris Liddicoat, one of the founding members whose vision ignited this incredible journey; and Ida Keast, Chairman extraordinaire. The significance of this milestone is further magnified by acknowledging two exceptional individuals - Doris Liddicoat and Joy Foot - who served as county chairmen throughout their illustrious careers. Additionally, it is worth noting that both Doris Liddicoat and Gwen Powell-Jones held prestigious positions as lady Mayors within our beloved town. Through Jonathan Barker's lens, we glimpse not only a momentous celebration but also an enduring legacy rooted in friendship and empowerment. This image encapsulates decades of shared experiences among these dedicated women who have nurtured bonds stronger than time itself. As we admire this treasured photograph from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection today, let us honor these
