EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from March 1991, we witness a significant moment in the history of Lostwithiel, Cornwall. The image showcases the launch of the Farmwatch scheme, an initiative aimed at enhancing security and safety for local farmers. At its center stands Bill Clarke, a respected figure in the community as both chairman of Grey Mare Farm and chairman of the National Farmers Union (NFU) in the area. The photograph captures PC Martin Bennett, a dedicated member of Lostwithiel's police force, extending his helping hand to Mr. Clarke. Together they are seen fixing signs onto one of Grey Mare Farm's buildings with great care and precision. PC Bennett dons his uniform proudly while balancing on a ladder against the backdrop of a rustic cowshed. This image not only symbolizes unity between law enforcement and agricultural communities but also represents their shared commitment to safeguarding rural livelihoods. It serves as a reminder that even amidst changing times, traditional values remain deeply rooted within Cornwall's farming landscape. Photographer Jonathan Barker has skillfully captured this poignant moment; his lens immortalizing an alliance that would go on to strengthen ties between farmers and authorities for years to come. This remarkable snapshot now finds its place among other treasures at Royal Cornwall Museum – preserving memories that continue to inspire generations with tales of resilience and collaboration within our beloved Cornish countryside.
