EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the scene of decorating the New Institute and Gymnasium at Hawarden for the Fete held on 2 September 1896. The image showcases a moment in history when the respected Patron, Rt Hon W E Gladstone, opened this grand establishment on 22 May 1893.
The intricate details of the decorations and preparations for the fete are beautifully captured in this photograph, giving us a glimpse into the past and allowing us to appreciate the effort put into organizing such an event. The villagers can be seen working together to adorn the building with banners, flowers, and other festive embellishments.
The historical significance of this moment is palpable as we imagine what it must have been like to attend such a celebration back in the late nineteenth century. The sense of community spirit and pride in their newly established institute shines through in every detail of this image.
As we look at this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness a moment of joy and camaraderie among the people of Hawarden. It serves as a reminder of how important communal spaces like institutes and gymnasiums were (and still are) for bringing people together and fostering a sense of belonging within a village or town.
