EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from March 1993, we catch a glimpse of Fowey's beloved town crier, Michael Penprase, as he assumes an additional role as the official crier for Trago Mills. Standing proudly beside him is Bruce Robertson, the esteemed boss of the Trago Mills group of stores. The image showcases their camaraderie and shared enthusiasm for Cornwall's rich heritage. Dressed in his new uniform skillfully crafted by Sylvia Chrome from the furnishing section of Trago Mills, Michael dons a tricorn hat that adds an air of regality to his appearance. Behind them stands a charming half-timbered building adorned with a traditional fence, embodying the quintessential Cornish charm that surrounds them. This ceremonial moment captures not only the partnership between Fowey and Trago Mills but also symbolizes unity among neighboring communities such as St Pinnock, St Neot, and Braddock. It serves as a reminder of how traditions can bridge gaps and bring people together. As Michael rings his bell with pride and conviction, it echoes through time—honoring centuries-old customs while embracing progress. This photograph immortalizes both man and place; it encapsulates Cornwall's spirit within its frame
