Councillor Doris Starkey, a trailblazing woman in the world of politics, is captured in this iconic photo print. On the 24th of May 1978, at the grand ceremony held at Newcastle's Civic Centre, Councillor Starkey was elected as Lord Mayor of Newcastle. This historic moment marked a significant milestone for both her personal journey and the city she served. Dressed in an elegant attire befitting her new role, Councillor Starkey exudes confidence and grace. The chain of office adorning her neck symbolizes the weighty responsibilities she undertook to govern and represent the people of Newcastle upon Tyne. As one of few female councillors during that era, Councillor Starkey shattered glass ceilings with her election. Her dedication to public service and commitment to improving local governance made her a respected figure within both government circles and the community she represented. This portrait captures not only Councillor Starkey's official status but also showcases Elswick's vibrant spirit through its backdrop. It serves as a reminder that political power can be wielded by anyone who possesses determination and conviction. Decades later, this print from Memory Lane Prints stands as a testament to Councillor Doris Starkey's lasting legacy – an inspiration for future generations striving for equality and progress within their communities.
