EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this vintage print from 1949, we witness a momentous occasion at Mitchell Gardens in Wythenshawe. The photograph showcases the esteemed presence of royal visitors, Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Radiating grace and poise, Princess Elizabeth can be seen engaging warmly with Mrs E. Hill, Deputy Chairman of the Wythenshawe committee, as they exchange a firm handshake. The significance of this encounter is further highlighted by the distinguished onlookers present in the frame. Mr Leonard C. Howitt, City Architect; Mr R. Nicholas, City Engineer and Surveyor; Alderman Robert Moss - all prominent figures within Manchester's civic landscape - stand alongside the royal couple to bear witness to this historic event. This snapshot encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also represents an era when royalty graced local communities with their presence during official visits across Britain. The image serves as a reminder of the deep connection between monarchy and public service that has endured throughout history.
