Charter-Day at Tunbridge Wells - A Glimpse into 19th Century Progress and Local Celebrations
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "Charter-Day at Tunbridge Wells" offers a fascinating window into the vibrant atmosphere of a bygone era. Captured by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the bustling scenes that unfolded during Charter Day celebrations. The image transports us to Brighton Station, where a grand procession has just arrived. The platform is teeming with people eagerly awaiting the arrival of distinguished guests, including the Chairman and his accompanying deputation. As they make their way through town towards the Town Hall, street scenes come alive with excitement. The architectural beauty of Old Tunbridge Wells is on full display as we catch glimpses of charming buildings along Pantiles Street. The Old Chapel of Ease stands proudly amidst its surroundings, symbolizing peace and history. Notable figures such as Mr. Stone Wigg, Mr. E Durrant, and Mr. W C Cripps JP are present to commemorate this momentous occasion. Torchlight processions illuminate their path as they carry out their duties with grace and dignity. This engraving captures not only a significant event but also reflects progress within local governance and community spirit during that time period. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage while offering insight into how towns like Tunbridge Wells celebrated milestones in their development.
