Capturing the Magic of Christmas in Fowey, Cornwall - December 1992
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this enchanting print from 1992, we are transported back to a time when the spirit of Christmas filled the air in the picturesque town of Fowey. The scene is set with an array of vibrant and twinkling Christmas lights illuminating every corner, casting a warm glow over the cobblestone streets. At the heart of this festive moment stand four key figures who brought joy and excitement to both young and old alike. Town Crier Michael Penprase commands attention with his resounding bell, announcing the arrival of Father Christmas himself. With his sack full of treats slung over his shoulder, Santa Claus radiates merriment as he joins forces with Fowey Mayor Marilyn Wellman and Mayoress Pauline Bulmer. Tradition plays a significant role here as these beloved characters are dropped off at the town quay by one of Fowey's trusty harbour tugs before embarking on their journey towards St. Fimbarrus Churchyard for an eagerly anticipated switching-on ceremony. As darkness descends upon this charming Cornish town, all eyes turn to witness that magical moment when Father Christmas brings life to each sparkling bulb adorning the towering tree. This photograph captured by Jonathan Barker encapsulates not only cherished memories but also showcases how community spirit thrives during this special season. It serves as a reminder that even amidst winter's chill, love and light prevail in
