. In this timeless photo print, we are transported back to the historic town of Lostwithiel in Cornwall, October 1984. The image commemorates the remarkable 60th anniversary of the esteemed Lostwithiel Women's Institute (WI). Standing proudly within the grandeur of the Guildhall, Doris Liddicoat, one of the founding members of WI in this town, is joined by her fourteen-year-old granddaughter Kathryn Treleaven – then hailed as the youngest member. The photograph exudes a sense of pride and accomplishment as these two generations come together to honor an organization that has played a pivotal role in empowering women throughout their lives. The wood-paneled walls serve as a backdrop for this momentous occasion, symbolizing tradition and longevity.

Photographer Jonathan Barker skillfully captures not only their physical presence but also their shared bond and determination. This snapshot encapsulates both personal history and societal progress.
