EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Cyril Hawley, known as the Hornblower of Ripon, proudly dons his traditional attire while setting the watch on 27th September 1964. This print captures a moment steeped in ancient customs and rich traditions that have endured through generations in North Yorkshire. Nicknamed 'Horatio, ' Cyril Hawley embodies the spirit of this revered role, which dates back to centuries ago. His beaver-felt hat and distinctive tricorn made from buffalo horn are symbolic of his duty as the town's official hornblower. The frockcoat he wears is meticulously crafted from Scotch wool, adding an air of elegance to this ceremonial occasion. The ongoing ceremony takes place against the charming backdrop of Ripon, a picturesque town nestled in Harrogate. As Horatio sets the watch, locals gather to witness this time-honored ritual that signifies safeguarding their community. This remarkable photograph by Dewhust transports us back to a bygone era when such duties were cherished and respected. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of tradition and reminds us of our shared heritage. Memory Lane Prints presents this extraordinary image capturing not just an individual but also preserving an integral part of North Yorkshire's cultural fabric.
