EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the spirit of community and adventure, this nostalgic print takes us back to a sunny September day in 1985 at Lostwithiel's fire station open day. Five enthusiastic youngsters, Jessica and Rachel Hocking, Victoria and Tom Parker, and Samantha Jones, couldn't contain their excitement as they explored the magnificent fire engine on display. With wide smiles on their faces, these young explorers eagerly donned rubber gloves and fire helmets provided by the friendly firefighters. Their eyes sparkled with curiosity as they imagined themselves bravely tackling fires and saving lives just like the heroes they admired. Lostwithiel's fire station was once nestled at the bottom of Bodmin Hill before relocating to its new home at the old cattle market site. This snapshot captures a moment in time when local families gathered together to celebrate their dedicated firefighters while fostering a sense of safety within their tight-knit Cornish community. Photographer Jonathan Barker perfectly encapsulates this joyful scene that radiates innocence, wonderment, and dreams of heroism. The vibrant colors transport us back to an era where children found joy in simple pleasures such as exploring a real-life fire engine. This image serves as a reminder of how important it is for communities to come together during open days like these – forging connections between residents while instilling admiration for those who selflessly protect them.
