Item: St John's Hall, a day of celebration for Penzance, 2 June 1900
Description: The celebration outside St John's Hall Penzance with the Mayor addressing the crowd in the afternoon sunshine. The Union Flag is behind and in front of the dignatories. It could be part of the celebrations of 2 June 1902 following the British Victory in the South African Wars. What is clear from this group of photographs is the huge support for the cause. The age of Victorian austerity was giving way to the optimism of the Edwardian era.
