British Fowey Harbour Politicians Polruan Ties
EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this print is a momentous occasion that took place in Fowey, Cornwall, back in July 1992. The esteemed guest of honor was none other than Charles Kennedy, the Liberal Democrat President at the time. Surrounded by the picturesque beauty of Fowey Harbour and Polruan, Kennedy stood at the center of attention alongside two influential figures: Charles Onions, Chairman of SE Cornwall Liberal Democrats and Robin Teverson. The annual dinner hosted by the Party's South East Cornwall branch saw an impressive turnout with eighty local Lib-Dem members attending. Amidst a backdrop of ties that bind both politically and personally to this Cornish region, Kennedy delivered an optimistic message for his party's future in Cornwall. This photograph not only captures a significant political event but also showcases the charm and allure of Fowey Hotel as its venue. Taken by Jonathan Barker, it immortalizes a moment where politics intersected with breathtaking scenery. It serves as a reminder that even amidst political discussions and aspirations, there is always room to appreciate the natural beauty surrounding us. This image stands as a testament to British politics during that era while simultaneously showcasing the unique spirit and strength found within Cornish communities.
